I was reacting only based on what I saw in these message, but it
turns out that cmd above is an internal invocation of "git merge";
as the command does honor the "commit.gpgsign" option, if "rebase"
or whatever command that invoked the sequencer turned off the
signing by setting opts->gpg_sign to false, I agree that the part
touched by the patch should have the else clause to explicitly
override the configuration option.
