When the wocky directory is empty, that suggests the submodule has not
been checked out.

When cloning, use --recurse-submodules.  Or, use `git submodule update
--init --recursive` after cloning.

Should you be preparing a patch for packaging, you can also work
around such git problems by using a recursive diff between two clones
of wocky.  You may need to tweak the diffs with sed.
