Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2014-08-29 11:41:10 EDT 
When using the Repository page:
1. I had 1 unstaged file in my working directory that I wanted to commit.
2. I typed a message and clicked Commit, forgetting to stage the file first.
3. I ended up with an empty commit.

It would be nice if we warned about this case, e.g.
"You're creating an empty commit. Is this really what you want?"
