$ git --version
git version 1.6.1.9.g97c34
$ mkdir test && cd test && git init && git commit --allow-empty -m
"Initial commit"
$ touch .gitignore && git add .gitignore && git commit -m "Add empty .gitignore"
$ git diff --stat HEAD^..

 .gitignore |    0 +
 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
