The problem is that git (or mercurial, another distributed scm) don't
record empty
directories in the history. So, when you clone a git repository, the
directory isn't
created.

This can be solved by creating the directory in the build scripts (as
the patch in
the original post shows) or by including an empty file inside the directory.

Both solutions make the git history different from the subversion one, making
difficult to go from/to svn/git.

As to why using git in the first place, well, it makes developing a
lot faster :-)
