If you checkout a branch, create an empty directory in this branch

Right. Which is the suggested setup: add an empty ".gitignore" file to the 
directory, and you're done. It now acts "as if" git tracked the directory 
(git will remove the directory when switching branches), but without the 
lie that we really track any directory contents.
