Petr Kozelka commented on SCM-541:
----------------------------------
Hello Kathryn,
I just tested your suggested option - see
https://github.com/pkozelka/git-demo/commit/8bc7b72317b3e5d80fa8fdfa3a692ddc211a8620
It shows that it causes git to *create an empty commit* , but that is not a
no-op and I believe it should not be used.
Instead, I think the output should be parsed for string "nothing to commit
(working directory clean)" when git fails and used for the no-op case.
> GitExe commit should include --allow-empty option

> Priority: Minor

> Without it, git returns a status of 1 when there is nothing to commit. This
> makes the wagon-scm and other processes that depend on this being a no-op
> fail.
> I think that git should not fail on an empty commit, and adding the
> --allow-empty option on commits would achieve that.
