I am using git-1.7.4.4 and don't see such problems. Must be frustrating for you! I would downgrade and try a fresh git clone.

Guys,
I did a fresh git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git and the git clone resulted in the same empty 'admin' and 'cmake' files in the directories and in having and experimental/.git FILE instead of a DIR which hosed the shared object use to fill them. switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean crashed on experimental do I deleted and recloned experimental. Now I have a proper .git DIRECTORY in experimental and the expected objects are present.
All other dependencies, applications, have .git FILES instead of .git DIRECTORIES causing switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean to fail. If I delete each submodule and then re-clone it again in the tree, the it will
contain
a proper .git dir and will accept 'admin' and 'cmake' shared objects allowing build. But, I shouldn't have to pick through every submodule in TDE, delete recursive the submodule and then re-clone just to get the tree straightened out -- this is git -- it should just work. Still any idea what the cause of these issues are??

Sounds like a bug in the version of GIT you have installed. You could check for buggy submodule handling in whatever version is installed...
It definitely should not be releated to the TDE project's GIT files, aside from the fact that we use submodules. :-)
