Patman outputs a line for every edition of the series in every patch, regardless of whether any changes were made. This can result in many redundant lines in patch changelogs, especially when a patch did not exist before a certain revision. For example, the existing behaviour could result in a changelog of
Changes in v7: None Changes in v6: None Changes in v5: - Make a change
Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3: - New
Changes in v2: None
With this patch applied and with --no-empty-changes, the same patch would look like
(no changes since v5)
Changes in v5: - Make a change
Changes in v3: - New
This is entirely aesthetic, but I think it reduces clutter, especially for patches added later on in a series.

Changes in v3: - Document empty changelog suppression in README - Fix KeyError when running tests - Fix no changes message being output for revision 1 - Fix no changes message sometimes being output before every non-newest-revision change - Make the newest_version logic more robust (and ugly) - Update commit subject
Changes in v2: - Add a note when there are no changes in the current revision - Make this the default behaviour, and remove the option
