Thanks for replying Kai, if i understand you correctly , git module in anisble doesnot create the parent directory for example if the playbook has the below git play git: repo= git: repo=https://github.com/drush-ops/drush.git dest=/data/gitfiles clone=yes ==> it will not create a drush directory under /data/gitfiles...
and only when we run @command prompt #git clone https://github.com/drush-ops/drush.git , it will create a directory drush under the present working directory as there was no directory mention...so there is no way that we have that directory "drush" created under the directory ...thanks for the help.
