such no-op revisions are sometimes created intentionally to "amend" a
borked commit message of a previous commit. in such a situation,
replacing the erlier commit's message would be most appropriate.
however, detecting such a situation could be done heristically at best.

i don't remember whether you already said that ... why else would
somebody have used commit -f and why would you want to get rid of these
commits?
