WARNING – missing files if importing/adding plugin to a git repo

this is a friendly warning and request for either documentation update or fixing by plugin maintainer

if you import the plugin from a wp.org download into a git repo be aware that in most cases the folder wp-content/plugins/tb-testimonials/inc/tbar/ will not neccesarily be included in your git commit and subsequent pulls/clones/deploys of the git repo

this is because it is also a git repository, the solution in my case is to always delete the .git folder within that directory before adding the files and committing them to git but its frustrating that this folder is even included in the archive in the first place without some kind of notice in documentation
