Introduce a new signoff-options.txt file to be shared. A couple 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. Suggested-by: Philippe Blain Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- * It initially seemed that the update in [v2 2/3] didn't need too many iterations to complete, but it turned out that a preliminary clean-up would make it easier to iterate on the text after all.
