Description

Recently HCatalog removed the Hive SVN external, switching to pulling Hive as a regular dependency. This had the additional benefit of letting developers work off the Github mirror.

"ant clean package" fails from a git checkout with the following error:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/travis/src/hcatalog/build.xml:523: /Users/travis/src/hcatalog/lib does not exist.

The directory does exist in SVN but its empty: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/hcatalog/trunk/lib/

The directory does not exist in the github mirror: https://github.com/apache/hcatalog

Since the lib directory is empty can we simply remove it, along with the following lines in the "package" target?

-    <copy todir="${dist.dir}/share/${ant.project.name}/lib" includeEmptyDirs="false">
-      <fileset dir="${lib.dir}"/>
-   </copy>

Attaching the build.xml patch, but I'm not sure how to submit a patch to "svn rm lib" so that would need to happen at commit time.
