"Get started with your new Static Space" dialog appears on every page load for spaces with force-pushed history

Bug description

When I access my Hugging Face Space, a dialog box titled "Get started with your new Static Space" keeps appearing. This dialog should not show up because I have already submitted files to the space repository. The space displays the content of the page correctly (a list of AI web search apps) behind the dialog box.

Screenshot:

Note: The dialog box only appears when I'm logged in with my account. If I access the space in incognito mode, it's not displayed.

Expected behavior

The dialog box should not appear since the space has already been set up with content. The space should load without showing the "Get started with your new Static Space" dialog.

Additional context

This issue happens only with spaces using sdk: static. And I believe the cause of this issue might be due to using git push -f, which results in there being only one commit in the repository. This might be confusing the system into thinking the space is new and uninitialized.

Details:

• Space URL: https://huggingface.co/spaces/Felladrin/awesome-ai-web-search
• Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a new Space
  2. Push files using git push -f (force push)
  3. Refresh the Space page
  4. The "Get started with your new Static Space" dialog appears despite files being present

@felladrin indeed, this popup shows (only to you) until we detect multiple commits. Force push here has erased the initial commit. I suggest you to push another commit to the repo, or edit a file with the web UI.
