why bother with a message if it's just garbage?

  Because a message is mandatory to be able to make a commit.

    git commit --allow-empty-message https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt---allow-empty-message https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit...

    Someone above mentioned: git commit --amend --allow-empty
    • majewsky 5y ago
      --allow-empty refers to the changeset [1]. You still need a message. [1] To be precise, it allows to create a commit that has the same tree as the parent commit.

        That can be fixed by using “EDITOR=true git commit --amend --allow-empty”
        • majewsky 5y ago
          The default message is empty though, so not editing it will abort the commit.

  I use 'wip' (work in progress) and it makes it easy to find those save my work commits.
