Comments on: Adding Empty Directories to git-svn http://fredericiana.com/2009/08/18/adding-empty-directories-to-git-svn/ Open Source, The Web, And German-American Oddities Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:15:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jonny Dee http://fredericiana.com/2009/08/18/adding-empty-directories-to-git-svn/comment-page-1/#comment-233943 Jonny Dee Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:09:29 +0000 http://fredericiana.com/?p=2376#comment-233943 Hi, I wrote an open source tool MarkEmptyDirs which is able to create and delete such files automatically. It scans a directory tree for empty directories and creates such placeholder files. You can configure the content of such files using a template and template variables. If later on placeholder files become unnecessary (because "empty" directories now contain "real" files or subdirectories, the placeholder files are removed again. It is even possible to hook into placeholder file creation/deletion and automatically invoke git in order to add/remove the placeholder files from the repository. Best regards and have fun with it :) Jonny Dee Hi, I wrote an open source tool MarkEmptyDirs which is able to create and delete such files automatically.
