+Create a new commit containing the current contents of the index and
+the given log message describing the changes. The new commit is a
+direct child of HEAD, usually the tip of the current branch, and the
+branch is updated to point to it (unless no branch is associated with
+the working tree, in which case HEAD is "detached" as described in
+linkgit:git-checkout[1]).
