If a user passes "--template=", then our template parameter
is blank. Unfortunately, copy_templates() assumes it has at
least one character, and does all sorts of bad things like
reading from template[-1] and then proceeding to link all of
'/' into the .git directory.
This patch just checks for that condition in copy_templates
and aborts. As a side effect, this means that --template=
now has the meaning "don't copy any templates."
