I was getting this a few months back before I set GIT_ASK_YESNO to false and forgot all about it.

For me, it occurred every time I allowed git-gui to pack loose objects and I sort of assumed repack was doing a 'rmdir .git/objects/*/" to clean up empty directories and was triggering the prompt on non-empty directories.

There was a bit of discussion regarding a slightly different symptom a while back: http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/0f75ac5abd850e21
