I do.  git commit won't let me commit an empty tree, or at
least I haven't figured out how to make it do that.

You are right, at least for the initial commit (for subsequent
commits it happily commits an empty tree).

Now why anybody would want to it is a different matter.  Is it
because you would want to record that your project started from
scratch, as opposed to some import from an existing non
versioned (or versioned by another SCM) working tree?

Something like that, yes.

In the beginning there as nothing and git commited the nothingness.
