Allow an Empty Commit

Today my pair did something I'd never seen: create an empty commit. Out goal was to test a third-party integration, but we didn't have a meaningful change to contribute at the time. In this situation, I think an empty commit is a good compromise, because it's honest about our intent-- to simply kick off a remote process.

Here was the command:

$ git commit --allow-empty
