This optimization doesn't matter too much in practice (a tracked empty
file must be rare, or there is something wrong with your project);

How about python projects, where there's an __init__.py file
everywhere you turn your head? ;)

It's Ok as the price we pay for producing correct result is to open those
empty files, read them, and look for matches which we will never find ;-)
