This creates the exact > problem Users conciously using a general customization mechanism to express specific intent like the above is one thing. Project giving users a tool that is specifically designed to casually set and forget before even understanding the implications is another. So no, anything that specifically targets commit.signoff would not fall into the same category as end-users creating aliases for themselves to use, I would have to say. And we do not want to give an impression that we give tools specifically designed to encourage users making casual sign-offs.
