report published via git integration does not render in the service but renders fine if published di

gilby - thanks for looking at this. I think I understand the issue, and it is something that one the one hand does not appear to be explicitly stated in the documentation but on the other hand it makes sense: in a PBI project folder the data is stored in ```ProjectName.SemanticModel/.pbi/cache.abf```. This file is ignored by Git by default - in other words, the data does not make it to source control (d'oh!) and so the model needs to be refreshed in the service after initially being synced from source control - at least this is how I understand it. So seems the PBI Project approach coupled with Git integration is not applicable to models using data not accessible via the service.
Thanks!
Hi _onto_
Can you make sure you have got the latest version of Power BI Desktop installed and then make a change and see if that works through the integration?
