I went through these threads as well as the other related ones, and I
understand some of the arguments. It definitely makes sense to have
this specifically as opt-in, since it is important for developers to
be aware that they are adding a DCO to their commits. This is exactly
what my patch suggestion proposes - let us not touch the defaults for
signing off, but simply provide a `commit.signoff` config flag
identical to the existing `format.signoff` flag that works with `git
format-patch`. This would mean that only the developers who regularly
signoff every commit can add this to their config, taking full
responsibility for choosing to do so :)
Cheers,
