| 
| I wouldn't personally mind if somebody taught git to just track empty
| directories too.
| 
| There is no fundamental git database reason not to allow them: it's in
| fact quite easy to create an empty tree object. The problems with
| empty directories are in the *index*, and they shouldn't be
| insurmountable.
