Mercurial + TortoiseHg -> Empty commit message

I'm using Mercurial with TortoiseHg on Windows. And because some repositories (not all) are merely a space to sync files, I would like to have an empty commit message

Using dots as "empty commit message"

Entering a dot in the comment field seems to work, but it's annoying. Is there some sort of automatical "." commit message, or even an empty one?

I own the server with the hgweb.config and the hgwebdir.wsgi so I guess there should be a solution that works...

Disclaimer: Please do not start a discussion about the importance of commit message! I specifically want this not to happen! I use commit messages for source code repositories, but not for this task, no further explanation necessary!

For pure mercurial, empty commit messages are not posible (see Does Mercurial support empty commit messages?).

For TortoiseHG the best solution would be to request a feature allowing automatical messages as you mention, some kind of template mechanism.

It has been requested here: Template for commit message but not yet implemented as far as I can see.
