I know my client implementation would benefit from this fix... And Stefan,
the guy with 240000 files in his Slide load test, will probably need it too
if the repository is to be that large :-)

James is right! The original implementation recursed down on empty 
folders and deleted them - ofter a bit too much. As I though no one 
would bother I simply commented out the code. If this causes any 
problems I will find another solution. Actually, this should be simple...
