Synchronisation of empty directories #21

Closed adulau closed 11 years ago

adulau commented 11 years ago

Following a feedback from a user, should we add empty directories into the index? or should we provide a way to add a hidden file for allowing sharing empty directories.

What is be the use-case for this?

adulau commented 11 years ago

I suppose it's just a matter of file-system organization. Until now, my preference go for an empty file in each directory. I'll close this.

True. Mercurial keeps empty dirs only with a empty ".keep" file, too.
