Andrea,
            I think I had a similar issue, where initially on the master branch, I just copied the java cookbook into place on the filesystem(no knife command at all).  I subsequently did as you did and used knife to install the cookbook, which created the vendor branches and then does a merge to master(seemingly overwriting the java cookbook, that I had manually installed initially).   I never did track it down, as I had a backup of the repo anyway, and just did my own merge.    Maybe you did something similar initially?

All the quoting made the thread difficult to follow, it was kallen who had the issue :)

But yeah, that's what I thought too. And as Daniel said, the history is still there, just reverting (part of) a commit should get everything back—and it will not happen again after that.
