As part of my build process, I am running a git commit as an execute shell step. However, if there are no changes in the workspace, Jenkins is failing the build. This is because git is returning an error code when there are no changes to commit. I'd like to either abort the build, or just mark it as unstable if this is the case. Any ideas?
