But your patch to git-gui actually just lets the user set the flag, but doesn't make git-gui honor it. So the user can set "Automatically Sign-Off" through git-gui but it will have no effect within git-gui (git-gui doesn't use git-commit.sh, it has its own pure-Tcl implementation). I'm not applying this to git-gui, for the very same reason that Junio already gave as to why he won't apply the git-commit.sh patch. Within git-gui adding a signoff is either one mouse click (the button on the toolbar), a single keystroke (Ctrl-S) or a menu action (Commit->Signoff). Three easy ways to insert the signoff line. But it still needs to be a choice from the user, every time they make a commit. -- Shawn.
