This code seems to be making _cleanRepositoryCollection a reference to _currentTextFile.RepositoryCollection instead of making it a copy of _currentTextFile.RepositoryCollection:

_cleanRepositoryCollection = _currentTextFile.RepositoryCollection;

    No, you’re not imagining things. That stores a reference to the list returned by _currentTextFile.RepositoryCollection.

    Now, this may be a reference to _currentTextFile‘s internal RepositoryCollection list, or it may be a copy — it depends on the implementation of the RepositoryCollection property.

    If you want to ensure that you have a copy, you need to make the copy yourself.
