Description

I'm using this action in the most simple way: uses: actions/checkout@v2

I recently created a commit which moves some files into a folder config. The diff shows it and all looks fine. But when running CI that folder is missing entirely. I can't imagine why but that this action removes it somehow.

See e.g. https://github.com/boostorg/nowide/pull/113/checks?check_run_id=1160708123

Research direction

Start by reviewing the referenced Boost Nowide check run and reproducing the issue with the minimal actions/checkout@v2 configuration described in the report. Trace why the committed top-level config folder is absent from the checkout, and consider the issue complete when that folder is present in the CI workspace for the reported case.
