David TurnerWhen a submodule is being merged or cherry-picked into a working tree that already contains a corresponding empty directory, do not record a conflict.
One situation where this bug appears is:
- Commit 1 adds a submodule
- Commit 2 removes that submodule and re-adds it into a subdirectory
(sub1 to sub1/sub1).
- Commit 3 adds an unrelated file.Now the user checks out commit 1 (first deinitializing the submodule), and attempts to cherry-pick commit 3. Previously, this would fail, because the incoming submodule sub1/sub1 would falsely conflict with the empty sub1 directory.
This patch ignores the empty sub1 directory, fixing the bug. We only ignore the empty directory if the object being emplaced is a submodule, which expects an empty directory.

Note that there are four calls to dir_in_way, and only two of them have changed their semantics. This is because the merge code is quite complicated, and I don't fully understand it. So I did not have time to analyze the remaining calls to see whether they, too, should be changed. For me, there are no test failures either way, indicating that probably these cases are rare.
The reason behind the empty_ok parameter (as opposed to just always allowing empy directories to be blown away) is found in t6022's 'pair rename to parent of other (D/F conflicts) w/ untracked dir'. This test would fail with an unconditional rename, because it wouldn't generate the conflict file. It's not clear how important that behavior is (I do not recall ever noticing the file~branch thing before), but it seemed better to preserve it in case it was important.
