To clean up the dangling objects use:

When are broken only some submodules, there is no need to re-clone the whole
repository. It is sufficient to delete the relevant module folder and his git
folder. If submodule not have git folder in his directory, you will find it
in the top level .git/modules/_path_, for example:
.git/modules/main/tdelibs
After removing is needed to do:
git submodule init && git submodule update
This will re-clone only submodules that were previously removed.

Have you
checked your hard drive recently? Any disk
issues could cause a mess in GIT, and I would argue could be likely to
show up in GIT before anything else simply because the entire GIT tree
uses many tens of thousands of small files.
Nothing wrong with the drive. Just yesterday when booting the scheduled
fsck ran on that partition.
I was able to sync the tree after moving the contents of the kmplayer
directory. Sort of --- nothing filled in to replace the missing files. I
still get the "You are not currently on a branch..." messages with many
modules.
I don't want to waste 4+ GB of bandwidth recreating a whole new local tree,
but I don't know what else to do. Not to mention that with a new tree none
of the modules will have my user name in the config files.
