Hi Jonathan,
I had intended to stage commits but forgot to do so. Git responded with a normal commit creation message, so I pushed to the remote to begin a CI build. When the build failed for the same reason, I realized I had forgotten to stage the changes. An additional line in the response to the effect of “Warning: did you mean to amend with no changes?” would be very helpful to shorten this feedback loop.
