Part of the bug revealed in the last commit is that resolve_ref_unsafe()
incorrectly returns EISDIR if it finds a directory in the place where it
is looking for a loose reference, even if the corresponding packed
reference exists. lock_ref_sha1_basic() notices the bogus EISDIR, and
use it as an indication that it should call remove_empty_directories()
and call resolve_ref_unsafe() again.
But resolve_ref_unsafe() shouldn't report EISDIR in this case. If we
would simply make that change, then remove_empty_directories() wouldn't
get called anymore, and the empty directory would get in the way when
commit_ref() calls commit_lock_file() to rename the lockfile into place.
So instead of relying on lock_ref_sha1_basic() to delete empty
directories, teach commit_ref(), just before calling commit_lock_file(),
to check whether a directory is in the way, and if so, try to delete it.
