---------------------------------

Hi [~sunyd1224].  Just noticed this ticket today.

From time to time, modules are moved in the project to better organize it.  I think this might be the explanation for your problem.  I usually don't run "contrib-check" on my development machine, but I tried it today, and ran into the same issue.  

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1499157/git-checkout-pull-doesnt-remove-directories

I found this resource that explains how files can be left behind on your filesystem when they are removed from the git repository.  Can you try the command in the accepted solution, and see if it helps?  (I needed the `-x` switch as well.)

The automation that runs on your github fork includes the `contrib-check` switch, so that also works to meet the guideline.
