I think that the example Sverre posted is better. It might be a bit more to write out, but at least people can adapt it to their needs (as opposed to only skip "empty" commits). However, I would _love_ to see your tests being merged with Sverre's patch (of course, the tests should use the described procedure, then). Ciao, Dscho
