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.
