What's the advantage of an empty commit? Couldn't you start with a commit
that creates a "cover-letter" file in the root of the project? Then users could add
as they go along by editing and committing changes to the cover letter (need
to take care not to have a commit that touches both the cover letter and other
"real" files ... but I expect tools could figure out how to fix that if it happened).
