Strange (to me) as I would expect /app folder to be suggested for a
new (empty) project. Still no big deal.

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/installation/advanced-installation.html
"Your application code, in /app."

I wouldn't expect it to do without saying so but got no warnings there
either.

I was expecting to see files from skeleton copied to the empty
directories (and if existing ones found being overwritten after a
warning prompt).

Nope. When the new app folder is completely empty the skeleton is
copied. If (even empty) directories exist it's not.

I am sensing some sort of "hostility" attitude here. Perhaps I have a
really stupid misconception of how things are supposed to work or
perhaps you have a misconception I'm a newbie falsely blaming cake.
I'm just pointing out this issue to perhaps sort it out.

So to clarify, if for example the <folder>/Model folder exists but
it's empty and you cake bake for <folder>, /Model/AppModel.php will
never appear. Same for every other file in skeleton apart from
home.ctp and core.php

If you feel it ought to be like it is then fine by me, but it still
doesn't feel right.
