With v1.7.1.1~16^2 (commit: give advice on empty amend, 2010-06-06), "git commit" was taught to provide some extra advice in response to attempts to amend a commit into emptiness, but "git commit --amend --dry-run" was not updated to match. Split out a function that could be used to carry out such an update if it seems to be a good idea.
