function Save-GitCommit
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Commits changes to a Git repository.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    The `Save-GitCommit` function commits changes to a Git repository. Those changes must be staged first with `git add` or the `GitAutomation` module's `Add-GitItem` function. If there are no changes staged, nothing happens, and nothing is returned.
 
    You are required to pass a commit message with the `Message` parameter. This module is intended to be used by non-interactive repository automation scripts, so opening in an editor is not supported.
 
    Implements the `git commit` command.
 
    .OUTPUTS
    Git.Automation.CommitInfo
 
    .LINK
    Add-GitItem
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Save-GitCommit -Message 'Creating Save-GitCommit function.'
 
    Demonstrates how to commit staged changes in a Git repository. In this example, the repository is assumed to be in the current directory.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Save-GitCommit -Message 'Creating Save-GitCommit function.' -RepoRoot 'C:\Projects\GitAutomation'
 
    Demonstrates how to commit changes to a repository other than the current directory.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Save-GitCommit -Message 'Creating Save-GitCommit function.' -Signature (New-GitSignature -Name 'Name' -EmailAddress 'email@example.com')
 
    Demonstrates how to set custom author metadata. In this case, the commit will be from user "Name" whose email address is "email@example.com".
