Ehh, apparently. I had thought it was a feature (not that it was me who
implemented it), and didn't realize that others thought it was a bug.
Oops.
The default *.keep file was _wonderful_ for cloning a large tree onto a
small machine. It did exactly the right thing (never mind any shared
repositories - it just made repacking much more reasonable).
So maybe it was unintentional (a "bug"), but I had always seen it as being
something good.
