Bug 1038193

Description of problem:
Discussed with devs, pasting the initial e-mail to make the issue clear:

Hello guys,

I have question regarding the jcr2vfs migration tool and how it creates
commits is git repo.

I noticed that migration tool is IMO creating unnecessary commits. For
each migrated asset it creates one commit that only "touches" the file,
e.g. creates empty file (the regular one, dot-file for metadata is
creating with second commit) and then creates second commit with actual
content of the files. I know this is not serious issue or something like
that, but it could be confusing in some cases. 

For example this two commits are created for one particular asset (one
version of the asset to be precise, if the asset has multiple versions
more commits will be created):

============================================================================

From my point of view the first commit is completely unnecessary (as it
only creates empty file) and could be avoided, what do you think?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.0.0-ER5 (6.0.0-SNAPSHOT)
