Adding 'Signed-off-by' to 'subtree add --squash' commits

Adding 'Signed-off-by' to 'subtree add --squash' commits

[Finucane, Stephen]

Is it possible to "sign off" squashed commits created by the 'git subtree add ... --squash' command?

I ask, because the Signed-off-by tag is a requirement for a project I work on, but I've been unable to achieve this. A thorough search of Google/StackOverflow reveals nothing.

Regards,

Stephen Finucane

PS: A visualisation. The issue is the second "squash" commit

If it isn't directly possible, you can always use "git commit --amend -C
HEAD -s" to modify the commit afterwards.

I think that is sensible, though these days you can spell "-C HEAD" as
"--no-edit", which I think is a bit more obvious.
