From b2c150d3aa82f6583b9aadfecc5f8fa1c74aca09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David A. Wheeler" Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 14:20:26 -0500 Subject: Expand documentation describing --signoff Modify various document (man page) files to explain in more detail what --signoff means. This was inspired by https://lwn.net/Articles/669976/ where paulj noted, "adding [the] '-s' argument to [a] git commit doesn't really mean you have even heard of the DCO...". Extending git's documentation will make it easier to argue that developers understood --signoff when they use it. Signed-off-by: David A.
