Bug ... or feature?

If you are using Visual Studio to edit remote files, VS needs a "hard save" to trigger a transfer from local cache to remote file.

Right now, I use the following process to get VS to save to remote file store once a file has been updated outside of the editor.

This example is using Web Essentials less/css generation, but this is true for any similar process.

- update .less,
- save all
- reload when message comes up that a file has been modified outside of the source editor
- go to the .css file
- add a space to a line
- save all again (this triggers VS2012 to update remote file)

Steps to reproduce

This example is using Web Essentials less/css generation, but this is true for any similar process.

- update .less,
- save all
- reload when message comes up that a file has been modified outside of the source editor
- go to the .css file
- add a space to a line
- save all again (this triggers VS2012 to update remote file)

Actual results

Remote update is only triggered if changed file has space added (or something) and hard save.

Expected results

Would like any changed files to trigger remote update.
