It might be easy to miss, but it's there, right in the editor:

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and *an empty message aborts the commit*.
(Emphasis added)

In general, it might be helpful to warn very loudly upon doing a commit
--amend after fixing conflicts, but an implementation would probably be
ugly and for all I know, there might be people who frequently cause
conflicts while amending; those guys would probably be quite annoyed at
such a warning.
