It should be possible to do an empty commit, but it should be reported
as an error by default, because, while it may be a sensible thing to 
do, it's more likely to be pilot error, e.g. committing in the wrong 
directory.  The error message should say how to force it if that was 
what you really meant to do.  The option to force it should be safe to 
use all the time (i.e. not force anything else) so it can be used in 
scripts.
