The feature request

Allow empty commits

Proposed solution

Do not disable the commit button when there are no changes

Additional context

Empty commits can be useful.

It allows us to start work with an empty commit and immediately open a pull request for it.
In the pull request notes we are able to describe and plan to work that is going to happen on that branch before actually doing any changes.

This is possible from the command line with git commit --allow-empty -m "..." but not with GitHub Desktop
