Hi,
I noticed that if I have an existing directory tree with no
files in it, such as:
/usr/local/share/bayonne/tgi/
and a stow directory of:
/usr/local/stow
and a stowed application called bvm,
and a stowed application file like:
/usr/local/stow/bvm/share/bayonne/tgi/file.pl
when I unstow the application bvm with:
stow -D -d /usr/local/stow bvm
stow blows away the entire directory structure
/usr/local/share/bayonne.
it does this because there are no more files in there, but
many other applications would like to store files there, and
the directory structure existed long before I stowed the
application "bvm", so I don't think stow should blow
directories away like this.
Is there a way to tell stow not to blow away empty directories
that existed before the application was stowed?
