confusion of new users and mails to gau resulting in wasted time overall. I
thought it was a bug too and wrote to the list a couple month ago. From the
answers I understood there are valid situations when you would use this but
they are less frequent as accidental empty commits. I think Tom said that
larch had a force flag and that he wouldn't mind one for tla either.
I agree with others in the thread that the current default surprises.
