I always though -d and -P have non-conflicting semantic. The first creates
directories which are missing in local copy, and the second removes directory
which are empty.

I've just found that the real reason is a bunch of files with strange names
like .#numbers.jam.1.6 that don't show up by default. After they are cleaned,
directories are removed on update, too.
