Handling of empty directories

[gebae]

Svn2git knows the "--empty-dirs" option to handle empty SVN directories. Unfortunately the option is only effective if the directory is created empty. If a directory is emptied while deleting all files and folders in it, the .gitignore file is not created.
It means that currently - if you have such cases - some kind of 'post-processing' after the svn2git-based migration is needed.

Do you know of any workaround for this?

Hi,

Had the same issue during my migration, fixed it. See PR #78 .
Fix works in my case, hope it works in yours too.

This should be working properly now.
See https://github.com/svn-all-fast-export/svn2git/blob/master/test/empty-dirs.bats#L401 and following tests.
