Hello,
Is this proper behaviour:
root# su <username> -c "git commit --quiet -a -m \"templates generation\";" # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) root# echo $? 1
root# git --version git version 1.7.1

Yes, you asked it to create a commit, but there's nothing to commit. Hence the failure to commit.

The exit status doesn't seem documented in the manpage, but it's expected behavior that "git commit" refuses to create an empty commit, and it seems sensible to "exit(1)" in this case.
