: I've run into this too. I don't think this needs to be documented, I
: think it needs to be *fixed* -- that is, the relevant ant tasks need to
: not assume these directories exist and create them if not.
There is a reason these empty directories are commited and not created on
the fly by ant ... mainly because even if people don't ever use ant we
want "java -jar start.jar" to work.
People have argued that the build scripts should recreate them if the user
forcably removes them (or if in this case: git is aparently not smart
enough to preserve them) but that leads to the possibility of a person
with an svn checkout manually deleting a directory, then the build file
recreating it for them, and then SVN freaking out because the directoyr
exists but doesn't have it's working copy info (ie: .svn subdir)
"same as it ever was, same as it ever was" ...
