Subject: [RFC/PATCH 1/4] test-lib: add test_dir_is_empty()

From: Jens Lehmann <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 18:04:23 +0100

For the upcoming submodule test framework we often need to assert that an
empty directory exists in the work tree. Add the test_dir_is_empty()
function which asserts that the given argument is an empty directory.

I believe this one is pretty straightforward (unless I missed that this
functionality already exists someplace I forgot to look ;-).
