Hello!

I am trying to tar a folder with empty folder inside but they doesn't seem to be added. Is it not possible to add empty folders/directories to a tar archive?

Possibly not. When I wrote things a while back, I considered empty directories a bug. I probably was wrong. Git also has this issue.
