Is empty_dir warning on files normal ?
Semil Core
When i ran a "git svn clone" i saw many empty_dir warning messages on files and i got a bit concerned and confused.

And from
http://ffmpeg.org/download.html
we know
git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/
cd ffmpeg
git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/libswscale/
If, on the other hand, you want to know what these +empty_dir warnings are
about, you will have to learn much more about Subversion and Git, for
example by reading documentation on Git, SVN, and git-svn. This knowledge
will help you tremendously when you are working with git-svn.
Hth,

sorry i guess i should have provided that info in my first post.
it's the mpc-hc repo, here's the exact command i used (warning this
command takes ages, about 1 - 2 days, git is fast but this is one part
that is not):
git svn clone https://mpc-hc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mpc-hc/trunk
Link to mpc-hc project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/develop

I rarely top-post, but this is one occasion when it is appropriate. For
the record: my time is valuable, and if you want to have a part of it, you
need to make it attractive to me to spend it on you. If there is nothing I
get in return, or even worse, if I am abused, it should be (but obviously
isn't) obvious that I am not happy with that.
If, in contrast, you ask politely, and make it fun to help you, and
reply-to-all so that others can see my response (and Google it, too), and
generally give me an opportunity to show publicly how nice a guy I am, you
are most welcome to ask questions. Even if I am notoriously short on time.
Ciao,
Johannes

I didn't realize i'd sent the response directly to you, i thought i
had sent it to the mailing list.
That i do apologize for, never really used mailing lists before it's
new to me how it works when sending responses but that i did send it
directly to you still doesn't excuse your rudeness.
(the above text is a copy, i did send this to your e-mail but i'm not
sure you got, based on your post, so i post it here too)
Still unsure how to send to the mailing list without going though
googlegroups web site.
By the way, was i not polite in this message, how was i abusive:

Honestly i don't know what you're talking about, i responded to your
rudeness, i also explained why it was rude, also i didn't know i had
sent my responses directly to your e-mail (which was not my intention,
i intended it to go to the mailing list)
This whole mess started by a tiny mistake, my mistake by sending a
response to your e-mail, and you escalated by sending a rude response.
Instead you could have notified me of my mistake and i would have
corrected it, now wasn't that simple ?
Maybe you didn't think, maybe you assumed i sent my response to your e-
mail on purpose, maybe you had a bad day, it doesn't really matter
since you just could have explained the rudeness later and i would
have understood but the fact is you didn't.
I have already apologized for sending the responses directly to your e-
mail (copy of e-mail at the top of this post) so what is the matter
now ?
Can you at least explain what i did wrong ?
If i don't know what i did wrong then i can't correct it.

please ?
Even links to where i can find the answer will be fine (real, proper
links please (you know what i mean), i've had enough of a-holes,
pricks and strange people not explaining their actions, in this group)
But i still have hope for this group to find at least one person that
i can actually communicate with. (gosh! some people need to work on
their communication skills, no offense just a suggestion)

Which question? From your e-mail I cannot figure out what question you
are referring to.
Note that on this list you should not top-post (and if you don't know
what that means you can google it, and you will find links like this
one: http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html).
Also note that you should reply-to-all (yes send e-mail directly to
everybody in the thread, in addition to sending to the mailing list).
In the previous reply you seem to have misunderstood and failed to do
this, even after being told to do so, and this can be annoying...

If the question is the on about "are -emtpy_dir warnings on files
normal?" when running git-svn, I think the answer is yes.
svn tracks directories, git doesn't, so empty directories cannot be
represented in git. Those warnings on files seem to tell you which
files that got deleted, causing an empty directory to be left in
place, in that particular svn commit being imported.
