From: Pratik Karki <predatoramigo@xxxxxxxxx> This commit introduces the `--allow-empty-message` option to `builtin/rebase.c`. The motivation behind this option is: if there are empty messages (which is not allowed in Git by default, but can be imported from different version control systems), the rebase will fail. Using `--allow-empty-message` overrides that behaviour which will allow the commits having empty messages to continue in rebase operation. Note: a very recent change made this the default in the shell scripted `git rebase`, therefore the builtin rebase does the same.
