Support for empty folders

GuyPaddock opened this issue · 1 comments

It appears that in ClearCase we have several empty folders to satisfy build tools (i.e. the Flex compiler). In CC, this is fine because folders are versioned objects, but in GIT, as you know, empty folders are ignored.

Is there any chance of having GITCC automatically create .keep files for empty folders?

Hi Guy,

That's certainly possible - but just to warn you I'm not actively supporting git-cc these days except for accepting pull requests. Hopefully someone with a similar might be able to help you out.

My person opinion is that ideally you shouldn't rely on empty folders. If you're invoking the Flex compiler from ant you could, for example, create those directories at the start. I know might not be easy with a non-trivial build (and what build ends up trivial), but just putting that out there.
