Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.
Unfortunately, v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it
easy to include an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:
M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 subdir
It is easy to trigger this by accident by reading an empty tree (for
example, the tree corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to
move it to a subtree. It would be better and more closely analogous
to "git read-tree --prefix" to treat such commands as a request to
remove ("to empty") the subdir.

Hmm. I suppose on top of b2124125 (jn/fast-import-fix).
While applying it there I noticed that the change to t9300 includes an
unrelated change (residue of an old rebase). Here's a fixed version.
