git/save: prune empty directories on commit

Until now, git9 did not remove directories when
they became empty. This commit prunes directories
when the last file gets removed.

Eventually, we should just handle empty directories
correctly, allowing them to be created, added, and
removed -- but this should tide us over until that
code gets written.
