[PATCH v11 2/2] am: support --empty=<option> to handle empty patches

["徐沛文 (Aleen) via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: =?UTF-8?q?=E5=BE=90=E6=B2=9B=E6=96=87=20=28Aleen=29?=
 <aleen42@vip.qq.com>

Since that the command 'git-format-patch' can include patches of
commits that emit no changes, the 'git-am' command should also
support an option, named as '--empty', to specify how to handle
those empty patches. In this commit, we have implemented three
valid options ('die', 'drop' and 'keep').
