t5505,t5516: create .git/branches/ when needed

It is a real old anachronism from the Cogito days to have a .git/branches/ directory. And to have tests that ensure that Cogito users can migrate away from using that directory. But so be it, let's continue testing it. Let's make sure, however, that git init does not need to create that directory. This bug was noticed when testing with templates that had been pre-committed, skipping the empty branches/ directory of course because Git does not track empty directories.
