Subject: Add configuration variable for sign-off to format-patch
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.3-rc0~37
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d1876e9300c56f399ea2976c5831674cd9818b1;p=git.git

Add configuration variable for sign-off to format-patch

If you regularly create patches which require a Signed-off: line you may
want to make it your default to add that line. It also helps you not to forget
to add the -s/--signoff switch.
