When allow-empty is true, the no-changes guard falls through to the existing empty-array placeholder logic and the GraphQL mutation runs, producing a commit whose tree equals its parent's. allow-empty supersedes success-if-no-changes, which is documented in both inputs' descriptions.

allow-empty input to support intentionally empty commits
Closes the docs gap noted in grafana#114 for success-if-no-changes and documents the new allow-empty input in the same step. allow-empty is listed first in the examples since it supersedes success-if-no-changes, which makes the cross-reference in the success-if-no-changes comment read naturally.
