Hi,
it works ! Thanks for the hint !

You are right, I forgot the users of other VCs. But isn't there a bias towards git anyway as PTP synchronization is using git under the cover ? Given that, would it hurt to give the git users an extra treatment ? But I agree, it would be comfortable, but definitely not urgently needed. I can myself add the line '.gitignore' to .gitignore.
I didn't test though (lacking empty directories) whether adding '.gitignore' to .gitignore has some adverse effects on the original purpose of these files. Means, these files were added to force git to replicate an empty directory. Now I am telling git to ignore these files...
But adding these files (.gitignore or .ignore_me) only to empty directories would already alleviate the above discussion for most users. So I would opt for a higher priority for this feature - and it applies to all VCs. --
