Should Repository#createCommitOnHead create a new head if tree is empty? #852
Description
Activity
So you're making an initial commit in the repo? I feel like that function should be able to handle it. I'd check to see what parent is set to here. That should be null. If it's passing something other than that then that might be killing the call to Repository#createCommit.
FWIW I've used Repository#createCommit to make an initial commit before so I know that works.
Thanks john for the quick reply.

Using this function on a repository with no commits currently yields with "Error: Oid id is required." The function is quite helpful but i have to write the long way if the there is no HEAD. Which makes the shorter version irrelevant once i took the effort to write the longer one. So should the option be included to also support the initial commit if none is available?
