By design, importing a CAR file into a folder will *replace* the contents of
the folder. Importing without selecting a CAR file will effectively clear the
folder's contents (i.e. because you uploaded a null file). This feature has
been requested by customers so that a recursive deletion of a folder hierarchy
may be done.
We need to document this behavior better on the Import page. Lack of
documentation has confused at least one user.
Add the following statement to the sidebar on the Import page: "WARNING:
Importing a CAR file will replace the contents of this folder. Uploading an
empty file will clear all folder contents."
