Git itself doesn't version empty directories at all, only files
(and soft links, sub modules....).

Git creates a directory as a "side effect" to be able to store files
there.

May be I am off-topic, but would it be possible to fill the empty
directories with a dummy file ".empty" ?
Add those to svn and force Git to create a nearly empty directory.
