Hi all, Bug http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-1295 is about gradle not copying empty directories. I found the reason for this bug: the NormalizingCopySpecVisitor class explicitly excludes empty directories. Since NormalizingCopySpecVisitor is only used in CopyActionImpl, the logical solution for me would be to fix the code (and tests) and then issue a pull request.
However, since I am new here and unfamiliar with the politics surrounding gradle development, there may be another way of handling bug fixes instead of like this. For instance: leave NormalizingCopySpecVisitor as is and add a new class. I would like to fix this bug but I would also not like to trample on anyones toes. cheers, --L
