You can call the file anything you want, and its contents are
irrelevent. All that matters is that the directory not be empty.
(One convention is to create an empty file called ".keep_me",
although I usually have the file contain a note telling people
not to delete it.)
That being said, the .cvsignore suggestion often turns out to be
what you want. If the directory is to contain logs, temp files,
or other things that are not intended to be CVS-tracked, you'll
need a .cvsignore anyway. Since that will suffice to make the
directory non-empty, you won't need a .keep_me file as well.
