When using composer to update using composer update, I get…
- Syncing drupal/prism (2.2.0) into cache
- Upgrading drupal/prism (2.1.0 => 2.2.0): Update failed (The .git directory is missing from <LOCAL_DEV_SITE>\modules\contrib\prism, see https://getcomposer.org/commit-deps for more information)
Would you like to try reinstalling the package instead [yes]? yes
- Removing drupal/prism (2.1.0)
- Installing drupal/prism (2.2.0): Cloning 2.2.0 from cache
I probably removed the .git folder manually on a previous update because it sems to cause me problems with my local Git client — something to do with Git sub-modules but I don't really understand all that.
My question to the community is why is that .git folder present on a full release anyway, I think I understand why it might be there if I was using a -dev module but not for a release. I'm sure it's my ignorance of things here but if someone could put me right I'd be grateful.
Thanks all

Miscellaneous
It doesn't look like there's a .git/ directory in the source code on GitLab. I wonder if you previously installed the module using Git by cloning it from GitLab? Or via Composer but installed from source instead of dist?
