It is mostly "I do not signoff because typing '-s' each time I commit is a pain". I know it is supposed to be a conscious decision, but I think it is a little silly. Since everything I do for git.git is going to be signed-off, either I will automate it, or I will end up typing it without thinking. Whenever I make a conscious decision, it is to _withhold_ signoff, since that is the exceptional case. But even without that, I still think format-patch is a reasonable time to do it. It is the time when I proof-read my commit message and patch in its final form, and think "do I really want to send this?". That seems to me like a reasonable time to make such a conscious decision to signoff (or not). > But your point still stands; "commit -s" will not see through that > official trick either ;-).
