You are encouraged to review your own changes before then. The possibilities are: 1) If you are absolutely sure it does not need any documentation, add ---. 2) If you know it needs documentation, try to write some. If you are absolutely positive that the documentation you have written is correct and adequate, add +++. 3) If you really don't know whether something needs documenting or not, either do nothing, or ask.
