That same documentation could mention a common workaround for when someone
does really want to keep the empty directories:

$ touch ./path/to/empty/dir/.keep
$ git add ./path/to/empty/dir/.keep
$ git commit -m "Keep that empty directory because it is needed for <whatever>"

This would obviate the need for a new flag to switch behaviours.
