RE: [PATCH 0/2] am: support --always option to am empty commits

From: Aleen <hidden>

Dears René,
The symmetry is compelling, but "always" is quite generic.  I can see
e.g. someone expecting "git am --always" to imply --keep-non-patch.
git commit and cherry-pick have --allow-empty, which is (a bit) more
specific.  That seems to me a better option name to copy for a commit-
creating command like git am.
It was designed corresponding to --always option in git-format-patch, which
will be pssed into git-diff-tree. As a commit-creating command, --allow-empty
is apparently a better choice. I will re-submit it, thank you.
