[PATCH] Add -S, --gpg-sign option to manpage of "git commit"

[PATCH] Add -S, --gpg-sign option to manpage of "git commit"

[Tom Jones]

git commit -S, --gpg-sign was mentioned in the program's help message,
but not in the manpage.

This adds an equivalent entry for the option in the manpage.

Good point.  Please find a revised patch, with the newly documented
option before the optional double dashes, below.

Are you sure about this?  The order, described in "git help cli", of
the command line arguments is options (such as -F <file>
-S[<keyid>]) first, then revs (irrelevant for "git commit" and lack
of it in this manual is correct), and then paths.  Optionally "--"
can be used to mark the beginning of "paths" part (e.g. "git commit
-- -S" or "git commit ./-S" is used when you want to commit a file
whose name is "-S").

Thanks. This slipped through the cracks last week, but I've picked it up
now.

Potentially we could say more (like how to verify), but I will leave
that for somebody to build on top if they want.
