Which means "Skip commits" and nothing else. Saying "Instead of failing" explains what would happen if you ran the command without any option, which is entirely irrelevant, just like the case when you ran the command without an unrelated option --allow-empty. We share the same "the --skip-empty option does not have anything to do with the --allow-empty option, and we do not have to say anything about what happens when the command is run with that unrelated option". But we are viewing it from a different angle. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
