Subject: git-commit --amend: allow empty commit.
X-Git-Tag: v1.3.0-rc1~43^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8588452ceb7;p=git.git

git-commit --amend: allow empty commit.

When amending a commit only to update the commit log message, git-status
would rightly say "Nothing to commit."  Do not let this prevent commit to
be made.
