This is merely a suggestion (and might be heavy-handed, but I thought I would throw it out there). When migrating from svn, empty directories do not (and technically, cannot) get added to git because git doesn't store empty directories. My suggestion is to create the folder and place a .gitignore file with the following contents:

```
*
!.gitignore
```

This would at least allow the directory to get created in the new repo, because if an empty directory is committed to svn, the developer probably expects it to exist for the application code to be in a normal state.
