From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> The code path that triggered that "BUG" really does not want to run without an explicit commit message. In the case where we want to amend a commit message, we have an *implicit* commit message, though: the one of the commit to amend. Therefore, this code path should not even be entered.
