My Github repository: https://github.com/dustinrohde/crystals/tree/xp/test

It’s normally very simple to add files to my working tree:

git add path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...
git commit

But for some reason, I can’t get git to recognize directories “test/res-invalid-noimage” and “test/res-invalid-noworld”. I know that it’s a problem with git and not with github because I searched for the files in gitk and found them not, even after repeated attempts to add them. When I just added the two directories and issued a commit, git told me that no changes had been added.

Questions and answers are welcome.

EDIT: Although the directories contain no files, just empty directories, they are used by the test suite, so I need them to exist in the working tree.

    Are these empty directories? Git cannot track empty directories. In fact, it doesn’t track directories at all; git only tracks files.
