Hi, This January I've submitted a patch adding a -d flag to rm which allowed it to remove empty directories, same as BSD rm does. I lacked a FSF assignment back then, which I have for some time now (RT: 721463; I can send the pdf). Here's the original thread in archive for those who want more context:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-01/msg00111.html I've rebased my patch against current master and fixed the tests as Jim Meyering have suggested. New patch is attached, it can also be viewed at GitHub: https://github.com/goj/coreutils/commit/rm-d Best regards, -- Krzysztof
