So the only way to get it working so far is to have an empty source folder: http://git.eclipse.org/c/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.git/tree/tycho-source-plugin/src/main/java/org/eclipse/tycho/source/OsgiSourceMojo.java#n159

I wonder why tycho couldn't just exclude those that don't have source available as an option (since I guess its also useful to fail to be able to detect if you always want sources and for some reason got a config error).

Anyways, for the git migration the simplest approach is then just to add .gitkeep to those locations.
