Almost identical text on the signed-off-by trailer appears in the documentation for "git commit" and "git merge" and its friends. Introduce a new signoff-option.txt file to be shared. A couple of things of note are: - The short-form "-s" is available only in "git commit", but not in commands that are friends of "git merge", as it is used as a short-hand for "--strategy". - The original lacks description on the negated "--no-signoff" form on "git commit" side, but it equally is applicable. It however was unclear in the original text that not adding a Signed-off-by trailer is the default, so rephrase to explain it as a way to countermand a --signoff option that appeared earlier on the same command line. This is in preparation to apply a further clarification on what exactly the Signed-off-by trailer means.

Add Signed-off-by line by the committer at the end of the commit
|
|
log message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project,
|
|
but it typically certifies that committer has
|
|
the rights to submit this work under the same license and
|
|
agrees to a Developer Certificate of Origin
|
|
(see http://developercertificate.org/ for more information).

The --no-signoff option can be used to countermand an earlier --signoff
|
|
option on the command line.
