[PATCH] commit: remove irrelavent prompt on `--allow-empty-message`

From
Hu Jialun <hujialun@comp.nus.edu.sg>
Date
Jul 6, 2021, 02:24 UTC
Message-ID
<20210706022438.580374-1-hujialun@comp.nus.edu.sg>

Currently, COMMIT_EDITMSG contains "...and an empty message aborts the commit", regardless of whether the --allow-empty-message option is specified or not. This is deemed confusing and unintended.
