One of the things that makes git different from other SCMs is that it
tracks sets of changes (i.e. commits) not individual files/directories.
My initial response is to tell you to create the directories when you've
got something to put into them and not before. If they are needed for
compilation of your code then make it part of the build process. If you
do have a reason for needing empty directories the standard response is
to put a .dummy file in the directory (you only need it in the deepest
directory, not every directory on the path).
