Hi,
I'm running in a problem when trying to fetch a SVN repository branch that
contains an empty directory with a SVN property svn:externals attached. This
directory is missing in the Git repository/checkout. I was unable to find an
option to have it added. I'd like to get it added to readd the externals using
the trick described in http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2007/5/1/245002.
Without it, I have to recreate it in git, add it to .gitignore... which is
painful.
BTW, I didn't find any documentation on empty dirs handling by git-svn. They
seems to be often removed which is not always desirable. Are they options
related to this?
Cheers,
Michel

I don't think this is git-svn's fault, but simply that git doesn't
track directories (just files). I guess git-svn could create some sort
of place-holder files in empty folders, but currently it doesn't
AFAIK.
