Do not commit an unchanged tree in non-merge mode. While regular mode is already handled by git-runstatus, this cheap check allows to avoid costly git-runstatus later. Also, amend mode needs special attention, because git-runstatus return value is ignored. The idea is that amend should not commit an unchanged tree, one should just remove the top commit using git-reset instead. Signed-off-by: Dmitry V.
