You are probably different than me. What with my track record, I _trust_ my patches to be not perfect at all. Nevertheless, I commit here and now, and usually I regroup the commits into a nice patch (series) (AKA poor man's StGit). So I will never need something like you suggest. Having said that, if you think it is best for you to mark every commit as signed-off-by you, just add an alias: git repo-config --global alias.c "commit -s" and you're done. I highly doubt that it makes sense for the average developer, though.
