Hi Shoaib,

Thanks for pointing this out. I had not idea this happened or that it was even possible to create top level directories in the monorepo. I assumed everything went through git-svn as it did in the past? I removed the directory again in r353913. I agree that it would be great if this wasn't possible at all. I can look into ways to prevent this from happening. Can you give me a little more information on what happened? Did you add the 'b' directory while doing development and then accidentally commit it or did the monorepo script add it? Did you commit using git or svn?

Note that git usually presents diffs as a/path vs. b/path, but new files compare the old as /dev/null, e.g.

$ git status --short A foo $ git diff --cached diff --git a/foo b/foo new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..45b983be36b7 --- /dev/null +++ b/foo @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +hi
