my little opinion: first run the changes on a backup, or a copy of the files:
this one works under linux bash fedora:
how to create a "shadow" of a folder [same filenames in another dir, but with 0
Byte size]
in the original, "A" directory:
find . -type f > a.txt
"B" directory:
cat ../a.txt | while read file; do if [[ "$file" = */* ]]; then mkdir -p
"${file%/*}"; fi; touch "$file"; done
so if something goes wrong, there would be no trouble
