Description

Whenever I sync my fork master from upstream Apache master, CI fails: https://github.com/G-Research/spark/runs/5972229542?check_suite_focus=true

```
From https://github.com/G-Research/spark

• branch master -> FETCH_HEAD
  Already up to date. (nothing to squash)
  On branch master
  Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
```

Since my fork master is without changes, the `git commit` fails. This is annoying.

The same issue makes the scheduled build and test workflow fail multiple times a day.
