How can this be?

It depends on the nature of the change. The qualifier is derived from Git. If there are no changes in Git the qualifier should stay the same.

However, rebuilding a bundle could cause different bits being generated. Therefore the p2 mirror task should be used when publishing bundles into an existing repo (likely a composite). It has a comparator that only publishes bundles not already present in the composite. The comparator is able to ignore difference caused by re-builds.

I'm not sure if we use the comparator for delta publishing. I believe Orbit is just publishing the latest repo as is.
