Help! fatal: destination path 'main/applications/ktorrent' already exists and is not an empty directory.
All,
Within the past couple of days I now am getting a lot of these types of messages when I attempt to sync my local tree:
fatal: destination path 'main/applications/ktorrent' already exists and is not an empty directory.
Thus far the only fix I have found is to delete the entire module and resync.
The problem is there is no .git directory in the affected modules. I have no idea how to fix and searching the web is not helping.
There seems to be no end to the madness. With each resync a new module is affected.
Please help!

From a certain version of the GIT are ".git" folders of submodules placed into folder ".git/modules" in the "master" module.

There may be a better and quicker way, but in a case like this I would do a clean checkout. It takes a few hours, but at least you can be sure everything is as it should be.
