How about a bit of honesty?

Here's the quote:

 "The FAQ answer is weazeling on several accounts:

  a) No, git only cares about files, or rather git tracks content and
     empty directories have no content.

  In the same manner as empty regular files have no contents, and git
  tracks those.  Existence and permissions are important."

You called it "weaselly" to say that git tracks only content, and then 
very much tried to equate "existence and permissions" with content.

That's the part I answered.

So it wasn't a strawman, it was a direct answer to your assertion. Now go 
away and either come back with the patch to implement it (that I have 
encouraged you to do), or add a ".gitignore" file to the directory (that 
others have told you will solve your problems).

Don't bother talking crap.
