Description
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
d = pd.DataFrame({1: [], 2: []})
g = d.groupby(1)
g[2].transform(lambda x: x)

raise ValueError('No objects to concatenate')Problem description
Crashes on SeriesGroupby obj with zero length, which came from an empty dataframe. Would be nicer if pandas can handle this case without raising errors, by for example, just return an empty series. Thanks.
Expected Output
Series([], Name: 2, dtype: float64)
