Deleted Entry in Source File Not Reflecting in Git Repository

[dxdx123]

Describe the issue

I noticed that when an entry (id="200002") is deleted in the source file (zh_Hans.xliff) and synchronized on the Weblate platform, the number of entries in both the source and translation files decreases accordingly. However, the en.xliff file in the git repository does not reflect this deletion, even though the status appears correct on the Weblate platform. Could you help me understand why the deletion is not being submitted to the git repository?
