[PATCH 1/3] Don't diff empty tree on branch creation in paranoid update hook

["Shawn O. Pearce" <spearce@spearce.org>]

Listing all files in a branch during branch creation is silly;
the user's file-level ACLs probably don't mean anything at this
point.  We now treat the base case of 0{40} as an empty diff,
as this happens only when the user is creating the branch and
there are file level ACLs that diff against the old value of
the branch.

 I had this series of 3 patches laying around that I forgot to send.
 They have been in production for a while (~5 months) and are
 safe to apply.  Funny what you find laying around in your topic
 branches sometimes...
