Unfortunately some languages dictate a deeper structure. When dealing with those, it helps (a little) if directory views "collapse" empty paths. Example how GitHub does this.
I'm wondering how I could make dired
do this?
- Is there an existing option I'm overlooking?
- Is there an existing package that adds this?
- Should I attempt to write such a package? O_o
Update: Drew commented that the GitHub example isn't clear and asked me to explain. Their August 19, 2014 blog post explains a new feature they call "Folder Jumping".

, but that "expands" it, instead of collapsing. Please clarify what you are looking for versus what you see in vanilla Dired. Give an example. (Your GitHub "example" is not clear to me. Show what you would like for a Dired listing.) – Drew Jan 23 '16 at 21:10
