WHAT?
Oh, this is embarrassing...
All this time I've been typing something (like the word 'ACCIDENT') in the
editor thinking I have already started the commit process and I would
complete the commit when I exit the editor, so I always typed something to
know that this commit was a mistake. I didn't know that typing nothing
would cancel the operation.
But, in my defense, (and I just re-read it to be sure I didn't miss it)
nowhere in the help documentation (FOSSIL HELP COMMIT) or the comment in the
editor (# Enter commit message for this check-in. Lines beginning with # are
ignored.) does it say, or even imply, that an empty comment is one of the
reasons that will 'abort' the commit.
LOL!!!
Thanks.

What I would like to have is an extra prompt, “Are you sure (y/N)?” with

default for commits. Since commits are irreversible, I think the extra
prompt
to safeguard against typing accidents will be welcome by most users
without
adding too much burden to each commit. Then again, it could also be
activated
via some setting so those who don’t want it can do without it.
Since fossil commit start an editor and having empty commit message give
you a kind of "Are you sure" prompt already, how can you commit by
mistake when typing "f com" instead of "f cha" ?
It's not like you will type: f com -m "some text" when you were about
to type "f cha" ...
