git svn: attempt to create empty dirs on clone+rebase
We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh clones and rebase. This should cover the majority of cases where users work off a single branch or for projects where branches do not differ in empty directories. Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout" or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command after switching branches.
