VS code containes emphasized items but no error
Committing once with git can be resolved.
I saw this message after moving a file from one folder to another, renaming and committing everything to git.
The Visual Studio "Problems" window showed an issue with the "deleted" file. Somehow VS had left a window open for the original location of the file and in it's tab the file was labeled as "deleted". Closing that tab in VS got rid of the "Contains emphasized items"
