Disallow commit without a message

Should block at least from the CLI/UI a commit without a message

Not sure how quick I can get this done, but I'd like to take a crack at this one my PR for Issue #2190 is complete. Is that fine?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @nopcoder and all,
Just been assigned to this issue and been wondering if there should be an enforced practice of writing meaningful commits... Although I definitely agree with this practice, other users might not.
There's a middle ground here which we can use which is adding a --allow-empty-message like flag that will state the intention of an empty commit.
What do you think?

Hey @Jonathan-Rosenberg,
I like your suggestion, I believe this is a case we should behave like git.
Supporting the --allow-empty-message sounds like a great solution
