I'm not suggesting that a project integrator would have that switch on, but for me, in my own repository, where I am the only person writing patches, what possible case is there that I won't sign off? > Once you are reasonably convinced you want to sign off on that commit, I am always convinced. Perhaps I am doing wrong - please explain to me under what circumstance I would /not/ want to sign off on a commit. (assuming I am acting merely as a developer on a project, I am not accepting patches from anyone but me). > just add "-s" to git-commit. And if you forgot, fix it by "git commit -s > --amend". (Note that this is another nice example why "-a" by default > would be wrong, wrong, wrong.) I don't see what one has to do with the other. There are good arguments for not having "-a" default, but signing off isn't one of them. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE
