git-svn: add an option to skip the creation of empty directories
"git svn mkdirs" (which creates empty directories in the current working copy) can be very slow and is often unnecessary. Provide a config file option "svn-remote.<name>.automkdirs" that prevents empty directories from being created automatically. (They are still created if "git svn mkdirs" is invoked explicitly.)
