About .gitkeep files

Note that the (empty) .gitkeep files just exist to let Git keep (track of) directories that'd be empty otherwise. This is required because Git's index, by design(!), cannot handle empty directories.

Also note, that .gitkeep is not a documented feature of Git but rather a convention created by the Git community. In fact, the file could be called anything.

That being said, some recent discussions suggest that .keep should be preferred over .gitkeep - as the former is agnostic to Git, whereas the latter is specific to Git. And, secondly, because the .git prefix convention should be reserved for files (and directories) that Git itself uses.
