Ah, indeed you are right. Let's drop this patch then.
However, we have a bigger problem with empty commits, in that there
are really three modes rather than two:
* Automatically drop empty commits (default for am-based rebase)
* Automatically keep empty commits (as done with --keep-empty)
* Halt the rebase and tell the user how to specify if they want to
keep it (default for interactive rebases)
Currently, only the first option is available to am-based rebases, and
only the second two options are available to interactive-based
rebases. But if we want to make all three available to
interactive-based rebases, what should the command line option look
like? --empty={drop,ask,keep}?
(And deprecate but continue to support --[no-]keep-empty?)
And should the two rebase modes really have a different default? What
should the default be?
