CVSROOT/Emptydir is a placeholder that's used in a sandbox's
CVS/Repository file when the directory doesn't correspond to any real
directory in the repository.  Older versions of CVS just created it when
needed, but that occasionally ran into permission problems so CVS 1.10.8
and newer also create it when you do ``cvs init''.
