How can files get deleted if I commit a directory as empty? I don't really understand what you think is happening.

My apologies @Vinzent03, I did not explain that well, let me try again. So I have a private git repository that houses my notes. In addition I have a submodule in a public repo holding some notes on a specific topic. Every now and again, when obsidian-git backs up the parent repository, I get a commit on the submodule that looks like this. As you can see all of the files are deleted in this commit, even though I have not deleted them myself.

Does that help explain what it is I am seeing?
