Issue with patch for dot-files

[B Wooster]

I'm using this patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.general/4855
to get dot-files (.htacess, etc) downloaded with wget.

This works fine, but in my output-file log, I get hundreds of pairs of lines like this:

No such file `'.
<empty line>

I ran with -d, and it seems to me that this is reported for every directory that is empty - I've attached snippets of the debug output below - if anyone can send me a fix to suppress these messages (and re-issue the patch mentioned above), would appreciate it!

Debug output:
