Empty commits with the "author ownership" upon editing dataset_description.json

[yarikoptic]

What went wrong?

I am looking at git history of changes @jungheejung did on ds005256 (yet to be published).

history looks a little odd in that some of the changes of content in dataset description, commit author is Git Worker <[email protected]> are followed by empty commits with @jungheejung's name:

it seems that many of those commits are not needed and ideally should be avoided. I guess also commits with actual changes should be the ones with @hungheejung as the author

Expected behavior

no empty commits
