This is similar to the existing "reword" command in that it can be used to update the commit message the difference is that the editor presented to the user for the commit. It provides a useful shorthand for "exec git commit --amend --no-edit -s"

Hi,

At $dayjob we have a patch based work-flow where committers sign patches on the way through. Occasionally when a larger patch series is involved it's easier pull from the submitter's repo and use git rebase -i to add the required sign off either by using 'reword' or 'exec git commit --amend -s'.

This is my attempt at making this a little less cumbersome by adding a 'sign' command. I decided not to add a short version of the command, partly because 's' was taken and partly because it is a bit of a niche use-case.

Thanks, Chris
