Sorry, I realize that I was wrong above.
As the default for "if_exist" is "dont_repeat", the above would append
a s-o-b if there is no s-o-b or if there is one but with a different
value.

To append a s-o-b only if there is no s-o-b already, one would need to use:

[trailer "signoff"]
         key = "Signed-off-by:"
         if_exist = dont_append
         if_missing = append
         command = echo "$GIT_COMMITTER_NAME <$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL>"'

Thanks,
Christian.
