Re: [BUG] git-svn dcommit fails (connection closed unexpectedly)

I wouldn't personally mind if somebody taught git to just track empty 
directories too.

Just to add my 2 cents: I just had a case where I would have needed
empty directories, and it seems reasonable as a workflow:

As a group of teachers, one created a skeleton, with stg like

./course/
./practical-works/day1
./practical-works/day2
./exercices/day1
./exercices/day2
...

He did it with svn, filled in only a few directories, I "git-svn
clone"d it, and I got almost nothing!

These empty directories are not interesting by themselves, but as a
placeholder to add files, I think it's a good thing to have them.
