title: What does "Your branch is up-to-date with origin/master" error mean?
body: <p>When I try to commit my changes in IntelliJ IDEA, it brings up an error dialog box saying the commit ended in error and that the files were not committed and then it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>On branch master
  Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
  nothing to commit, working directory clean
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The event log shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>12:02:21 0 files committed, 5 files failed to commit: this is a commit message
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What does this mean? </p>
