Hi, the following procedure mkdir test cd test git init echo 1 >file git add --intent-to-add file git commit -m "blurb" results in a commit. I would have expected that git commit complains, as I have not pased the --allow-empty option. Is that intended behaviour? Tested with 2.8.3.windows.1 and 2.1.4 on linux.
