I thought the idea was that we would show a subset of the fields by
default when no user input is provided. Which would mean we have the
following:
* `git repo-info` which would show a subset of all fields, giving
important repository information.
* `git repo-info --all` which would show all available fields.
* `git repo-info <fields>` which would only show the requested fields.
With this context, I'm not entirely sure where '--allow-empty' fits in.
If this is/not the case, it would be nice to talk about this in more
detail in the cover message and also in the individual patches.
This is also a good time to think about if we should make the default to
not show anything as Junio mentioned.
