Well, why do other folders contain .git directories?  Are they
*separate* git repositories?  If so, git doesn't know what to do with
them and leaves them alone.  (Well, in fact it treats them as
submodules.)

All your other weird problems seem to come from this, as far as I can
tell.  If not, it would be helpful if you could give *complete*
reproduction steps for your problem.

Have fun,
