dry-run project deploy affect source tracking

[geoffswift]

Summary

If I have source tracking enabled and do a dry run deploy, this appears to affect source tracking, and doing a regular "push" is subsequently affected.

Steps To Reproduce

# Make a new org
sf org create scratch --definition-file example.json --set-default

# Do a dry-run
sf project deploy start --dry-run --source-dir 'force-app'

# Do a regular push
sf project deploy start 

Expected result

Code should push to the org.

Actual result

Code is not pushed to the org. The dry-run should not affect source tracking, since the org is unaffected.

Additional information

I can work around this by disabling source tracking for the dry run like so...

sf org disable tracking
sf project deploy start --dry-run --source-dir 'force-app'
sf org enable tracking
