Description

Empty direcotries are not acceptable as they are recongized as proper plugins and cause problems. I just spotted at least /grade/report/visual, removed from CVS. Maybe we should have some empty-directories-removal tool being run automatically? Or is this a part of "common" git/cvs shift?

I'll look into making a fix for this - its a known issue with the cvs->git process

This does not seem to be easily fixable :-/ Once the directories get into the git mirror, they can't be removed as empty directory removal can't be committed...
What works for me is semi-manually removing empty directories using

$ find . -depth -type d -empty
$ find ./lib -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

The manual removing described above works and we are going to switch from CVS hopefully soon.
