SFTP release directories missing

SFTP release directories missing

[Adam Dinwoodie]

I'm currently seeing attempts to run `cygport <blah> stage` fail with
an error "cd: Access failed: No such file (/x86_64/release)". And
logging in manually over sftp, that looks to be accurate; the only
file I can see is my !mail file.

```
$ echo $'ls\npwd\n' | sftp cygwin@cygwin.com
Connected to cygwin.com.
sftp> ls
!mail
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /
sftp>
```

Clearly something has gone wrong with the upload space for my
packages; can someone fix it / tell me what I need to do to fix it?

I got the same problem 2x today during upload of pass and etckeeper. 
Could be fixed by creating the directories manually with mkdir.

Seems to be fixed now. Empty directories {noarch,x86,x86_64}/release 
reappeared in my lftp account.

Confirmed everything looks good for me now too, thank you for checking!

Thanks for reporting this.

A few weeks ago I deployed a change to calm to teach it to remove empty 
directories, but it seems I made it too keen.

I've deployed a fix for that, and re-created the directories required by 
cygport upload/stage.

This shouldn't happen again, but if needed, you can safely recreate 
these directories manually.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
