Did you check whether you have multiple copies of the cookbook locally? Knife 
will combine cookbooks that exist in multiple locations in your cookbook 
paths into a single cookbook with one overlaid on the other. This feature is 
deprecated and supposed to trigger a warning, but I just discovered that the 
warning was inadvertently removed, so it’s possible that you are triggering 
this feature accidentally without knowing it.
