'tree -dfin' will give you much better usage.
'find -type d' will give you hidden directorys, although I'm sure you
can make tree do that as well.

So for find, you would use -exec or something, for tree, something
like the following...

for dir in `tree -dfin`; do mkdir -p /new_top_dir/$dir; done

Hope that helps
