5.1 - Perforce Integration - Shows ignored files in Content Folders

We are running UE 5.1 Source Build, and the perforce integration does not respect our ignore file. It shows all files in the Engine/Plugins Content folders and Engine/Content folder as “Not in Depot” and tries to submit them (which will not work because they are ignored). Reverting them deletes them (obviously), but when we add them back in, the same problem persists.

This is incredibly annoying. Because we do not have access to Epic Games Perforce Streams, we got it from Git and then Diffed everything that gets loaded through GitDependencies.exe into a Zip that we download onto our machines. All the content folders are contained in the archive, and we don’t see any value in adding 3000+ Engine Content files to our source control just because the engine ignores the ignore file.

Is there any workaround or fix to this? Or is this working as intended?
