Description

There are a number of empty directories under the backend code that are used for placing scripts that automatically get executed during certain provisioning stages. Subversion allowed for these empty directories to be included in the repo. Git does not track empty directories - empty files must be placed in those directories for them to be included in the repo. A standard name needs to be decided on and exceptions need to be placed in the code to ignore the empty files.
