Leila <muhtasib@xxxxxxxxx> a écrit :

The question 'why are empty dirs special', is issue no 1, which I'm
also happy to discuss. The rule empty dirs can't be added in git is
unintuitive, as people use git to keep track of things - all things.
So it's not about an empty dir being special, it's about how people
use git to keep track of things. Now why might people want empty dirs
tracked? 1) People often setup dir structure in projects before adding
any code. They often want to save that state for themselves or to
share it with other team members.

Yup, that kind of situation is not unusual. Thus, having a reminder by
running 'git status' would help. But sharing empty dir with other team
members is another issue, no ? Even with your implementation, the user
won't be able to share empty directories.

Thanks,

Lucien Kong
