Anything else is a lot more code and more cumbersome. If the || true in
this instance is unacceptable, then I will probably just submit the
changes for the compression section and maintain this modification as a
private patch or sed command for myself.
Why do you need "|| true"?
Because of #!/bin/bash -e
find may also discover non-empty directories for which rmdir will fail
(we actually want it to fail, obviously). But that exit status would
also stop execution of the code.
