Let Git take care of the empty directories for you. If Git deletes all source files in that directory (as they don't belong in this version that you are checking out) it will also delete the now empty directory. The only time it fails is if you are on Windows and some process has the directory busy. :-)
So, if I were starting with an empty working directory, and I had just synced over the .git folder from the place where I'm doing the actual importing - how would I populate the working directory with a copy of the contents of the tree from (say) 07058310db903317faa300b93004a5a2e0fc2dcc ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
