SEWorkshopTool is packaging ignored directories but as empty paths

[highlyunavailable]

I have a .wtignore using the defaults + a couple things that is packaging directories like .git, .vs, bin, and obj. This also happens with a completely stock .wtignore.

The directories are empty, but still present in the packaged mod.

App version: SEWorkshopTool 0.7.18-alpha+2f2c8574ef35eafbc75523c15e1c66e1df7b64b3

Have you tested by uploading from the game itself?

The game code handles the packaging, and as I originally noted at 35ed666#diff-7a9eeb030465159b5c00f6c3dedd6bed9be9e76200d1597d25c11bf9341cbdd8R826 for #37, empty folders aren't supposed to be copied.

I suspect something changed recently in SE, possibly to fix the original issue where not having a Data directory would cause the game to fail to load if the mod was used.
