Deleted folder still visible in GitHub [message #535398]

Hello,

I have created a small project, placed it under version control with
EGit and pushed it to GitHub. I had a non-source folder "presentations"
with several subfolders and files in the project. I deleted this folder,
added + commited locally and pushed this to GitHub.

The folder still appears in GitHub: http://github.com/vogella/test

Is this expected? I would expect that the folder has been removed from
head and it not visible anymore in Github.

Best regards, Lars

This is not expected. The empty directories should have been pruned. We
need to know how you did that and what versions of egit/jgit were in use.

Ideally you'd supply this information on bugs.eclipse.org
