That's to be expected git and dropbox plugins implement dolphin's
KVersionControlPlugin plugin interface.
An assumption was made for the implementation of dolphin, a folder is only in
one version control system.
Not a very strong one, I would think.

The question would be what to do then ?
My short answer would be to have dolphin signal to the user the issue and turn
off one of the plugins for the folders concerned.
I consider this not a high-priority.
