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.
