Ah, hmm. I vaguely remember some discussion in the past about empty commits, but I'm not sure what the conclusion there was? I think it was something like "if you want to create a marker, use tags instead, there's really no reason to be using --allow-empty". Wasn't there some use case for "--allow-emtpy" when creating an unrooted branch with an empty starting point, or somesuch? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
