Title: Add ability to skip adding a commit message when publishing

The idea is that you can just run `rake publish no_commit_msg=true` to skip the required input for a commit message. This is useful for, say, automated system to publish the docs automagically.

Unfortunately you can't use hyphens with rake arguments so there aren't a lot of pretty ways to do this.
