Terraform Version

Terraform v0.11.10 

Also note that this is Windows 10, with git version 2.19.1.windows.1

Expected Behavior

I have authored some modules in a local git repo. Modules are in one path, and terraform files in another path. When I git clean the repo, I expect only .terraform folder to be removed

Actual Behavior

Module files are deleted from the filesystem when the .terraform dir is removed

Steps to Reproduce

From a clean git repo containing terraform modules in one path, and terraform files in another such as:

├───Environment │ └───DingDev │ ├───Core │ ├───Dev │ └───Networks └───Modules ├───Stripe ├───Vpc └───Vpn 

1 terraform init in (say) the Dev folder which contains .tf files importing modules from the Modules folder

 [master ≡]> terraform init Initializing modules... - module.pink Getting source "../../../Modules/Stripe" 

2 git clean -fxd to remove the .terraform directory:

[master ≡]> git clean -fxd Removing .terraform/ 

3. Discover that all the files in ../../../Modules/Stripe have been removed:

 [master ≡ +0 ~0 -2 !]> git status On branch master Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) deleted: ../../../Modules/Stripe/inputs.tf deleted: ../../../Modules/Stripe/main.tf no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") 

Additional Context

This is my .gitignore:

terraform.tfvars terraform.tfstate *.backup .terraform *.swp
