This may happen if you delete the current directory, even if your re-create it afterwards. For example:

/tmp/test$ rm -fr /tmp/test && mkdir /tmp/test /tmp/test$ touch foo touch: cannot touch ‘foo’: No such file or directory /tmp/test$ cd /tmp/test /tmp/test$ touch foo /tmp/test$

This is unrelated from Git, but maybe you asked Git to delete a directory (by switching to a branch which doesn't contain a directory for example).

This is a typical symptom of the issue above.
