Ah, hmm. I vaguely remember some discussion in the past about empty
commits, but I'm not sure what the conclusion there was? I think it
was something like "if you want to create a marker, use tags instead,
there's really no reason to be using --allow-empty". Wasn't there some
use case for "--allow-emtpy" when creating an unrooted branch with an
empty starting point, or somesuch?
