Patch targets get skipped in any of these circumstances:

 - the target filename is the empty string (this is just a sanity check)
 - the target is outside of the working copy being patched
 - the target is the working copy root
 - the target is unversioned, missing, ignored, or obstructed
 - the target is a locally deleted directory (this should be revisited
   now that wc-ng has been released)

I also think that the right fix is not putting skipped targets on the
targets_info list. The target info is only used during post-patch processing,
by delete_empty_dirs(). Skipped targets have already been fully
processed at that point.
