I'm not sure about any known problem that could cause that, but I do
know that it's perfectly possible to have empty commits like that.
svnsync can generate them, for example, when you don't have access to
any of the changed paths in a given revision. I'd be interested to
see if you could reproduce the problem manually with the command line
client though.
