Quoting Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx>:
Is just dropping a ".gitignore" or "README" file in the empty
directories during
conversion still the most reasonable approach?
A .gitignore will, but may cost 0.001% CPU time when running "git status".
I have seen systems that create a file called ".empty" in every directory.
If so, is there a way to do this
automatically during the conversion using "git svn" or the like?
Not what I am aware of.
And even if, the .empty files need to be removed, once the directory is
removed.
And we don't have logic for that, as far as I know.
So upon re-reading the git-svn docs, there apparently _are_
"--preserve-empty-dirs" and "--placeholder-filename=<filename>" options.
I'm not sure how I missed these. :-/
If I understand correctly, it sounds like exactly what I want. i.e. a
placeholder file being added (and tracked) to each empty folder. Are
there known issues or limitations to be aware of?
Thank you,
David
