Just to add my 2 cents: I just had a case where I would have needed empty directories, and it seems reasonable as a workflow: As a group of teachers, one created a skeleton, with stg like ./course/ ./practical-works/day1 ./practical-works/day2 ./exercices/day1 ./exercices/day2 ... He did it with svn, filled in only a few directories, I "git-svn clone"d it, and I got almost nothing! These empty directories are not interesting by themselves, but as a placeholder to add files, I think it's a good thing to have them. -- Matthieu - 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
