Here it is with a test and commit message. I believe this fix could also
make:
git commit --allow-empty --only --
work if we removed the "--only does not make sense without paths" check.
But I seriously doubt that anybody cares, given that "--only" is the
default (i.e., just omitting it already does what you want there,
whether you have pathspecs or not).

Subject: [PATCH] commit: fix "--amend --only" with no pathspec
When we do not have any pathspec, we typically disallow an
explicit "--only", because it makes no sense (your commit
would, by definition, be empty). But since 6a74642
(git-commit --amend: two fixes., 2006-04-20), we have
allowed "--amend --only" with the intent that it would amend
the commit, ignoring any contents staged in the index.
However, while that commit allowed the combination, we never
actually implemented the logic to make it work. The current
code notices that we have no pathspec and assumes we want to
do an as-is commit (i.e., the "--only" is ignored).
Instead, we must make sure to follow the partial-commit
code-path. We also need to tweak the list_paths function to
handle a NULL pathspec.
