This patch is for cogito.

Ordinarily, I would say if you have empty directories, you should remove
them. However, if you have a directory in which all files are excluded,
it will still appear in cg-status -w (even though cg-status -S is
empty!).

This, of course, means that actual empty directories will also be
ignored; there's no way around it without putting logic into
git-ls-files to distinguish between the two.
