Jakub Narebski: > there is (supposedly) problem when checking out such tree (see email > referenced above) with an old git. Proposal: - Implement the possibility to checkout/read/handle empty directories as soon as possible, even in the next 1.7.x release. - Don't implement the possibility to create/commit empty directories yet. - Implement the possibility to checkin empty directories next year, but allow it only, if the user knows that this breaks backwards compatibility of the repo. (Generate warning and require --commit-empty-directories option) Sorry if this should be crap. I'm not a GIT dev.
