File upload is broken when submitting a form...

...without selecting a file in Laravel 5! My tests revealed that with this tweek the problem described at this issue are resolved: laravel/framework#6189 
I don't make unit tests, but this will no more break my code flow. I'm not sure if this is the real deal! If someone could look deeper into the problem, I appreciated!
