Haha, good catch - thanks! :-) I wonder where they came from, though I hazily remember some curious behaviour of older Git versions wrt. .keep files and they seem all to be of old date. Now I have a single nice pack and fsck of all the forks still passes fine.

Thanks all, I will adopt this for all projects.
