I was going to be cute and offer "-mbug fixes and performance improvements" but then I remembered that there was some repo posted a few months back where the github tree listed showed "(no message)" and I had no idea that was possible but yup <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit...>

  $ git init
  $ git commit --allow-empty-message --allow-empty -F /dev/null
