Nish Aravamudan (nacc) wrote : git cannot represent empty directories by default

At least src:software-properties has at one time had empty directories
in the source package, e.g. in 0.96.20.5 in xenial on Ubuntu, and git
(and thus the Ubuntu git importer) fail to
properly represent the srcpkg's contents in the import.

Specifically, tests/aptroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ is missing from the import.

Given that git does not represent empty directories, I'm not sure what
we should do here.
