Perhaps it's not a good approach after all. What I wanted was to make
pre-1.8.0 tolerate empty trees created by 1.8.0. Perhaps it's better
to just let pre-1.8.0 refuse to work with empty trees, forcing users
to upgrade to 1.8.0?

The (untested) patch below would make git refuse to create an index
from a tree that contains empty trees. Hmm?
