From f907282faf9ffa90da8978c5a0dad44c299d06da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2015 21:08:54 -0400 Subject: cherry-pick: fix docs describing handling of empty commits Commit b27cfb0 (git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option, 2012-04-20), added the --keep-redundant-commits option, and switched the default behavior (without that option) to silently ignore empty commits. Later, the second half of that commit was reverted in ac2b0e8 (cherry-pick: regression fix for empty commits, 2012-05-29), but the documentation added for --keep-redundant-commits was never updated to match. Let's do so now.
