User A is working on a module fancy_module.
Some day, user A decides to remove fancy_module/subdir.

User B works on the same project but on different modules.
User B is even not aware of the existance of fancy_module/subdir.
But user B indirectly compiles fancy_module/subdir by executing
a project make, creating temporary files in fancy_module/subdir.
But now when user B does his regulary update,
he will suddenly get an error about modified files in
fancy_module/subdir, a directory, he has never heared about.

Cheers,
Folker
