The symmetry is compelling, but "always" is quite generic.  I can see
e.g. someone expecting "git am --always" to imply --keep-non-patch.

git commit and cherry-pick have --allow-empty, which is (a bit) more
specific.  That seems to me a better option name to copy for a commit-
creating command like git am.
