Subject: [PATCH] git-commit-script fix for degenerated merge
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.4~23

[PATCH] git-commit-script fix for degenerated merge

If merging results in an unchanged tree, git-commit-script should not
complain that there's nothing to commit.

Also, add "[--all]" to usage().

[jc: usually there is no reason to record an unchanging merge,
but this code path is triggered only when there is a nontrivial
merge that needed to be resolved by hand, and we should be able
to record the fact that these two tree heads are dealt with as a
regular two-parent commit in order to help later merges.]
