Bash script for dealing with Mercurial empty directory issue

I ran across this neat little command for adding files in empty directories (deals with mercurial directory issues).

find . -empty -type d | xargs --replace=EMPTYDIR touch "EMPTYDIR/.empty"

On a Mac is is:

find . -empty -type d | xargs -I EMPTYDIR touch "EMPTYDIR/.empty"
