Git does not track directories directly -- only as a byproduct of adding files contained in them. So either do what you did or, possibly better, add a script to your repository which, when called, will create this directory locally. The reasoning behind this: Git is not a deployment/configuration system but rather a content management solution with "content" being defined as whatever is contained in the files being managed. From this PoV, having an ability to put a sole directory under version control has no sense as it does not represent content but rather a workplace configuration orthogonal to the repository's content. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
