Yes! That's what's going wrong. Don't do "rm -rf *". Let Git take
care of the empty directories for you. If Git deletes all source
files in that directory (as they don't belong in this version that
you are checking out) it will also delete the now empty directory.
The only time it fails is if you are on Windows and some process
has the directory busy. :-)
