I've been thinking about this. I think that I like seeing those entries, as a visual reminder that I really am seeing the complete list of files in that directory, and therefore that it really is empty. When it comes to counting the entries in the directory listing, I already account for these, but I still like seeing them. However, I can see that others might not feel the same way. If you can recommend a patch that would make your preferred behaviour optional, I'd incorporate that. > The other thing I changed is due to the fact that the logs are rotated > weekly via logrotate on my installation.

Hmm. I'd like to find a way to virtualize this sort of thing. I'll have to give this some thought.
