Automatically skip empty commits when using git rebase

Question

Usually, you have to do git rebase --skip, it would be nice if there was a switch to automatically skip over these empty commits. Anyone know how to do this?

#!/bin/bash

# This command is used to resume a conflict, either rebase or merge
#  it will smartly do a rebase --skip when necessary

state=$("$GIT_EXE" g2brstatus)

[[ $state = "rebase" ]] && {

action="--continue"
if git diff-index --quiet HEAD --; then
    echo "The last commit brings no significant changes -- skipping"
    action="--skip"
fi

"$GIT_EXE" rebase $action 2> /dev/null

}

[[ $state = "merge" ]] && {
# Count the number of unmerged files
count=$("$GIT_EXE" ls-files --unmerged | wc -l)
[[ $count -ne 0 ]] && echo "I am afraid you still have unmerged files, please run <g mt> to resolv conflicts" ||"$GIT_EXE" commit
}
