Good call.
By the way, regarding what the right "--signoff" behavior is for
commit, cherry-pick, am, and format-patch:
I think the best behavior would be to check if the last signed-off-by
line (ignoring acked-by, bug, change-id, and so on lines that follow
it) matches the one to be added, and if it doesn't, add a new
sign-off. That way, the sign-off list still would accurately describe
the path of the patch, without silliness like
Signed-off-by: me
Reviewed-by: someone
Signed-off-by: me
that you mentioned.
I agree that that's orthogonal to this series and just mostly
preserving behavior (as you already do) is the right thing to do.
Thanks for noticing the edge cases.
Jonathan
