Edits which only change the edit summary.md

#Edits which only change the edit summary should be accepted during grace period

There is a five minute grace period after an edit where all edits from the same user are merged into one. Essentially you're editing your previous edit. In doing so, even the edit summary can be edited.

However, if you do not change the body, title, or tags of the question, and only change the edit summary, the edit is not applied at all. This becomes a problem when I sometimes forget to explain my in the edit summary, and to be able to change the edit summary I have to make some other unnecessary change.

I'm requesting that edits which only change the edit summary be accepted during grace period
