This looks to me like at some point gh-pages was merged to master.  So that 
when you deleted “stylesheets" in master,  merging to gh-pages also included 
this delete action…  My guess is that if you added the stylesheets directory 
back into gh-pages you wouldn’t ever experience this problem again.
