bazaar and svn version directories and files;cvs and mercurial and git do not;
To "hold" directories (since they are not really versioned) you need to put an empty file in them. You can see how I handled it for mercurial by looking at the repository at http://bitbucket.org/yarko/web2py/ (you don't have to use mercurial - you can just get a zip or tar file - see upper-right). Massimo - perhaps you could (just as a service to the community that uses other repositories) include / merge in "empty, directory place-holder" files for those that use other repositories? It's not strictly necessary, but then the mirrors would at least look the same, and be comparable with tools. Thanks, Yarko I've been a little busy, so I haven't updated in the past week, but likely will this weekend....
