Or give 'em a GUI (if they can handle a CLI, I can't imagine they
couldn't wrap their heads around this idea) which, if they attempt to
commit with no changes, actually displays "no changes to commit"
similar to what TortoiseSVN does on Windows (the message there is "No
files were changed or added since the last commit. There's nothing for
TortoiseSVN to do here".
