In case the length of the buffer is zero, we do not need to call the fwrite system call as a performance improvement.

 This applies on top of v17 for origin/sb/submodule-parallel-update.
 
 In case there are other reasons for origin/sb/submodule-parallel-update
 to need a reroll I'll squash it in. But as this is a pure performance
 optimization in a case we are not running into with that series and that
 series is clashing with Davids refs backend series, I figure we may not
 want to have a reroll for this fix alone.
 
 Thanks,
 Stefan
