empty .gitignore files in svn???
I think we might be accumulating empty .gitignore files, I just noticed
plugins/activemq/geronimo-activemq-ra/src/main/rar/.gitignore
plugins/sharedlib/src/main/resources/.gitignore
which look empty after my svn up.
Do these serve some purpose? If so, is there some way we could have only one such file for the project?
thanks

The only problem is my confusion about why they are there. Is it possible to put a comment in a .gitignore file to explain the purpose?
thanks

git don't pull empty directory if there's no .gitignore marker in a empty
path. no empty directory in the two projects will result in build error
when copying resources.
Is the adding files causing any problems ? If so, I can try to figure out
if git can pull a empty directory while keeping the track in a central file.
