Short answer: you don't.

Longer answer: you may use a precommit hook or a wrapper that runs "tla
changes" to make sure there are actually changes before committing. But
that will significantly slow down committing.

Alternative solution: branch baz to prevent empty commits and provid a
"baz commit --empty-ok" option, I think such a patch would be welcome
there.
