Junio C Hamano ae2e0ab6c5 doc: preparatory clean-up of description on the sign-off option Almost identical text on the signed-off-by trailer appears in the documentation for "git commit" and "git merge" and its friends. Introduce a new signoff-option.txt file to be shared. A couple of 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.
