When importing a git repository that contains file deletions, Darcs
often leaves empty directories around. We end up with differing working
copies, see eg [1].

A fix would be: for every commit, list file deletions, check if the
containing directories are empty, if yes delete them (recursively so
that empty super-directories also get deleted).
