Hi all,

I noticed that git provides the config variable `gpgsign` to enable GPG signing of commits by default (akin to the `-S` flag). But there isn't a variable yet for signing off commits by default (akin to the `-s` flag). I feel this would be a convenient feature to have, since a large number of projects today require every commit to be signed off for DCO[1]. I am willing to take this up, and would like to know if a patch would be welcomed. Thank you!

Best regards, Prajwal S N
