This is due to the fact that Git won't persist empty directories. I'm not sure if anyone's gone there yet, but I think if we added .gitignore files in each of these directories, it may solve this problem of their not existing when a build is attempted. -- sands fish Senior Software Engineer MI

Sounds like a question for a UI developer, but one thought is that Cocoon is capable of outputting various serializations of response content, so you have a couple of avenues, some of which are more involved. Off the top of my head: 1.) Use Cocoon sitemap configuration, user-agent choice logi
