Another case where I stumbled upon said error message was when I
added an empty (sub)directory to a project in subversion and then
used git to track that project. Since git cannot track an empty
directory, it did not appear in my git working copy. When I mkdir'd
the directory locally (in my git wc) and then tried to add files
within that repository, I got exactly the same error as Matthieu.

Interesting.  I don't think git-svn currently checks for that case.

It might be a net win to let git-svn handle empty directories by
creating an empty .git-svn-empty-dir file in them, instead of
pretending they don't exist.

No.  This is *WAY* too ugly.
