So, let's say I take your suggestion.
$ touch ~/Maildir/new/.exists
$ git add ~/Maildir/new/.exists && git commit -m "La di da"
Now a spec-compliant Maildir user agent will attempt to deliver this new
"email message" of zero bytes into the mail spool and assign it a message
UID. Doing so will remove it from Maildir/new.
No. The maildir spec says:
A unique name can be anything that doesn't contain a colon (or slash)
and doesn't start with a dot.

where a "unique name" is the filename used for a message. In practice,
every maildir implementation I have seen ignores files starting with a
dot. Do you have one that doesn't?
My apologies. This works just fine, and I'm a dolt.
Happy new year!
(I'm still academically interested in how to avoid the rmdir(), but as I
said before, that's a topic for someone else to pick up now.)
