Petr Kozelka commented on SCM-541: ---------------------------------- Hello Kathryn, I just tested your suggested option - see https://github.com/pkozelka/git-demo/commit/8bc7b72317b3e5d80fa8fdfa3a692ddc211a8620 It shows that it causes git to *create an empty commit* , but that is not a no-op and I believe it should not be used. Instead, I think the output should be parsed for string "nothing to commit (working directory clean)" when git fails and used for the no-op case. > GitExe commit should include --allow-empty option > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SCM-541 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-541 > Project: Maven SCM > Issue Type: Bug > Components: maven-scm-provider-git > Reporter: Kathryn Huxtable > Priority: Minor > > Without it, git returns a status of 1 when there is nothing to commit.
