Hi Brian
Here are some code comments now I've realized why we need to change it

I'm wary of this, especially after Juino's comments in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqy1cfnca7.fsf@gitster.g/
The documentation changes look if we do decide to change the default.

The comment above should be updated if we change the behavior of this
function.

Here we stop returning early if allow_empty is not set - this allows us
to apply allow_empty only to commits that start empty below.

I don't think we want to hide the error here or below from
originally_empty()

We move this check so that we do not unconditionally keep commits that
are initially empty when opts->keep_redundant_commits is set.

Now opts->allow_empty only applies to commits that were originally empty

This ensures we keep commits that become empty when
opts->redundant_commits is set.
The changes to allow_empty() all looks good apart from hiding errors
from index_unchanged() and originally_empty()
