[PATCH resubmit] Allow cherry-pick (and revert) to add signoff line

[Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com>]

I often find myself pulling patches off of other peoples trees using
cherry-pick, and following it with an immediate 'git commit --amend -s'
command. Eliminate the need for a double commit by allowing signoff on a
cherry-pick or revert.

Documentation is a good thing too, so I've adjusted the patch to include it.
