and my target output tree should looks like:

  I would use recursive grouping:

    <xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                    xmlns:my="..."
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
                    version="2.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

       <xsl:template match="dirs">
<xsl:copy>
             <xsl:call-template name="my:handle-dirs">
<xsl:with-param name="dirs" select="*"/>
             </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:copy>
       </xsl:template>

       <xsl:template
name="my:handle-dirs">
          <xsl:param name="dirs" as="element(dir)+"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$dirs" group-by="@name">
             <dir name="{
current-grouping-key() }">
                <xsl:copy-of
select="current-group()/file"/>
                <xsl:if
test="current-group()/dir">
                   <xsl:call-template
name="my:handle-dirs">
                      <xsl:with-param name="dirs"
select="
                         current-group()/dir"/>
</xsl:call-template>
                </xsl:if>
             </dir>
</xsl:for-each-group>
       </xsl:template>

    </xsl:stylesheet>

  You may
have to adapt the content of the for-each-group for the
precise ordering you
want between files and dirs when a dir
contains both.
