Re: [BUG] git-svn dcommit fails (connection closed unexpectedly)

Just to add my 2 cents: I just had a case where I would have needed empty directories, and it seems reasonable as a workflow:

As a group of teachers, one created a skeleton, with stg like

./course/ ./practical-works/day1 ./practical-works/day2 ./exercices/day1 ./exercices/day2 ...

He did it with svn, filled in only a few directories, I "git-svn clone"d it, and I got almost nothing!

These empty directories are not interesting by themselves, but as a placeholder to add files, I think it's a good thing to have them.
