If the .git directory is there, and "git --version" works, but "git ls-files" fails to print any file names (e.g. perhaps because .git is a symlink to an inaccessible directory) then the "grep" command in the thread-safety-check rule would hang forever because it had an empty list of files and therefore expected to read from stdin. This fixes the problem by adding the name of an empty file to the command, which is harmless.
