what are the problems with renames and empty directories?

In a nutshell, the renames should work mostly fine. If a rename is a
logical operation that is actually tracked by the VCS like in Bazaar,
then you can be sure that you won't be required to track some (possibly
ancient) history by hand. But I understand that the design of Git is
different and interpreting renames ex post should mostly work fine.
Empty directories are a more serious issue simply because we do have
empty directories in our source tree now. I also understand that there
are at least two straightforward solutions for this (generating the
empty directories instead of storing them and .empty files), but neither
of them is elegant.
M.D.
