Subject: [PATCH] Keep empty files unencrypted

To work around the issue that git considers the working directory
dirty when empty files are encrypted, these are kept untouched when
cleaning/smudging.

Security wise, this is not an issue, as you can check if an encrypted
file is empty due to the deterministic encryption properties.
