Description
rclone test makefiles would be more useful it if could create a reproducible file hierarchy from a given seed, e.g.
rclone test makefiles --seed wi33neasduo wi33neasduo/
Some other potential features would be to create empty directories, application extensions, all text files, compressible and incompressible files ...
