I would find this slightly easier to understand if it was written like this (and separated into its own paragraph):

	Add the Signed-off-by: trailer by passing the `--signoff` option
	to `git commit` instead of adding the trailer manually (and only
	when the `recursive` merge strategy is in effect).

Nice!

Also nice!

Thanks, Dscho
