This is old news;  forget bitbucket; google code for mercurial...

GIves code review tool as part of it (nice).

just reality:  the other way is problematic in other ways.

git, hg, cvs/rcs:  only version files (and their paths; not
directories)
bzr, svn version directories

Versioning directoreis helps with rollout (since you can version tools
and links too).  BUT  git is used for major, major projects with not
problems (as is bzr - so it's really just a concept to adapt to).

Just add a README.txt in needed empty directories - it can say "This
directory is needed, and is distributed empty."  -- DONE!
Actually, even if directories are versioned, this is a helpful, useful
kind of README to have regardless.
