Failure message when nothing to commit

This is more of an annoyance than a bug: I've got multiple Git repos that I want to snapshot and push to back them up, so I run mr commit -m "Snapshot $(date)". When there is nothing to commit in one of the repos, I get mr commit: command failed. Is there something I can do to make that not be considered a failure?

Thanks, -Mat

By the way, I hope this is the right place to report these things. I tried the Forums page but Branchable reported that it was locked.

try setting the commit/record commands for those directories

I'm not sure myrepos should be in the business of ignoring failure of VCS commands generally. I think the right way to go for this is for you to override the commit/record commands for the repositories you want this feature in, or for the parent directory if the repositories are in one directory or for all repositories if you don't have any where you don't do snapshots.

# For just the current repository
mr config "$(pwd)" commit='git commit -a && git push --all || true'
mr config "$(pwd)" record='git commit -a || true'

# For all the repos in a parent dir
mr config ~/path/to/snapshot/parent/dir commit='git commit -a && git push --all || true'
mr config ~/path/to/snapshot/parent/dir record='git commit -a || true'

# For changing the default mr commit command for git
mr config DEFAULT git_commit='git commit -a && git push --all || true'
mr config DEFAULT git_record='git commit -a || true'

I'll look into fixing the forum, thanks for reporting that.
