[PATCH] git-archimport: initial import needs empty directory

From: Gerrit Pape <hidden>

Hi, please see http://bugs.debian.org/400508:
git-archimport deletes the directory tree in the current working
directory during the initial import. The documentation has a sentence
saying that an empty directory is expected but this can be dangerous
for people not familiar with the tool.
git-archimport should better refuse to start an initial import if the
current directory is not empty.
