Notice two .git directories?  That's right.

Meta/.git is a separate repository that is a clone of "todo"
branch of git.git repository.  The top-level .git repository
does not even have "todo" branch.  I just happen to push into
the same public repository git.git at kernel.org from these two
separate repositories.

And top-level .git repository is told to ignore Meta directory?

Yes, I have .git/info/exclude that says something like this:

/.mailmap
*~
/Meta
+*
