How does that happen? Is it a directory that should not really be under
version control?

Update the parent directory and the missing files will be downloaded
automatically.

That seems like a bug. You can't revert a missing folder, only missing
files, so maybe that item should not be there at all. I don't know if it
is possible to update a single missing folder without updating the whole
parent folder ... Stefan?

They can. From any dialog just use Ctrl-A (select all), Ctrl-C (copy).
