It does not, but it says: "Usually recording a commit that has the exact same tree as its sole parent commit is a mistake, and the command prevents you from making such a commit.", followed by "This option bypasses the safety ..." leading to thing that the option negates that "prevents" above. I do understand that by reading very carefully each word of these sentences one can eventually figure out that the option removes the check on the tree only, and that all the others remain, including the one on the identity of the time. However, it does not say that the time must be equal with the approximation of one second. Apart from this detail, it does not state plainly that no commit object is created. -Angelo
