Subject: [PATCH] Implement a cpio emulation inside git-clone.sh for Windows.

We use 'xargs cp' to emulate 'cpio -pumd'.

cpio is fed from the output of 'find --depth' without filtering out
directories. We don't need to copy directories except the empty ones, so
we need to filter out non-empty directories. Then we can use 'cp -r' and
it will not actually recurse anything.
