mirror --no-empty-dirs should skip those directories.

I have seen this as well, it should only create a directory if the files 
it is downloading matches the regexp.


Instead, when you mirror and use an include regexp for '^.*txt$' for 
example it will create a directory locally for all of the the directories 
it traverses, rather than just mirroring the ones with actual text files 
inside them.
