I have no idea what happened or why only now everything is exploding. That said, looks like possibly my tree has been corrupted for a while. I have no idea what is the catalyst to start the recent events. Seems right now I have a mish-mash mixture of some modules with a .git directory and some modules with a .git file pointing to a respective .git directory in the root of the source tree. Some modules have no .git directory in the module or in the root .git directory. Like right now, tde-i18n is void of any .git directory in either location. That is 1.1GB of files I don't want to have to download when all I need is a respective .git directory somewhere. Running git pull does nothing to recreate the .git directory somewhere. Is there a fix for this? Or, is there a way I can update my tree to move the .git folder that exists in each module to ../../../.git/modules/ and create an appropriate .git file in each module that points to ../../../.git/modules/{modulename}?
