Subject: [PATCH] rebase: add --signoff option
Message-ID: <11911689111797-git-send-email-prohaska@zib.de>

When preparing a series of commits for upstream you may
need to signoff commits if you forgot to do so earlier.
This patch teaches git-rebase to signoff during rebase
if you pass the option --signoff.

Notes
1) --signoff cannot be used simultaneously with --interactive.
2) --signoff forces a rebase even if current path is a
   descendant of <upstream>.

Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de>
