Commit 6111b93 "git svn: attempt to create empty dirs on clone+rebase"
will create empty directories 'a/b' and 'a/c' if they were previously
created in SVN, even if their parent directory 'a' was deleted.

For example, unhandled.log may contain lines like this:

r32
  +empty_dir: packages/sipb-xen-remctl-auto/sipb-xen-remctl-auto/files/etc/remctl/sipb-xen-auto/acl
  +empty_dir: packages/sipb-xen-remctl-auto/sipb-xen-remctl-auto/files/etc/remctl/sipb-xen-auto/machine.d
  +empty_dir: packages/sipb-xen-remctl-auto/sipb-xen-remctl-auto/files/etc/remctl/sipb-xen-auto/moira-acl
[...]
r314
  -empty_dir: packages/sipb-xen-remctl-auto

This is a regression in v1.6.6-rc0, so it would be good to fix before v1.6.6.

Thanks Greg,

I found another git svn bug (fixed in a patch below) while writing a
test case for this.

Junio:

  The following are pushed out to git://git.bogomips.org/git-svn and
  should be ready for v1.6.6:

    Alex Vandiver (1):
          git-svn: sort svk merge tickets to account for minimal parents

    Eric Wong (1):
          git svn: log removals of empty directories

    Greg Price (1):
          git svn: Don't create empty directories whose parents were deleted

Thanks all

This also adds a test case for:
  "git svn: Don't create empty directories whose parents were deleted"
which was the reason we found this bug in the first place.
