quoted
+--empty-commit=(die|skip|asis)::
+ The command usually errors out when seeing an input e-mail
+ message that lacks a patch. When this option is set to
+ 'skip', skip such an e-mail message without outputting error.
+ When this option is set to 'asis', create an empty commit,
+ recording the contents of the e-mail message as its log.
+ 'die' is specified by default.
This feels sufficiently similar to the case of handling empty commits in
'git rebase' that it is worth trying to have a similar user interface.
Otherwise the two commands have two different option names doing more or
less the same thing. 'git rebase' has --empty=[drop,keep,ask] where drop
is the default. If am were to accept --empty=[drop,keep,die] it would
offer a similar user experience.

Dears Phillip,
It seems a good idea. Can Hamano make a decision?
