Don't error when trying to mirror or observe an empty repository

Description

Don't error when trying to mirror or observe an empty repository

Summary:
Fixes T5965.

Fixes two issues:

  • Observing an empty repository could write a warning to the log.
  • Mirroring an empty repository to a remote could fail.

For observing:

If newly-created with git init --bare, git ls-remote will
return the empty string. Properly return an empty set of refs, rather
than attempting to parse the single "line" that is produced by
splitting that on newlines:

  ...

For mirroring:

git treats git push --mirror specially when a repository is empty. Detect this case by seeing if git for-each-ref --count 1 does anything. If the repository is empty, just bail.

Test Plan:

  • Observed an empty and non-empty repository.
  • Mirrored an empty and non-empty repository.
