Yes, --signed-commits=(re-)sign-if-invalid is a perfect match for
that use case.  I am just saying that if you add the machinery
needed to re-sign, you would be able to reuse it to sign objects
that weren't signed in the first place, so that is wherea yet
another feature "--sign-commits=all" may fit.
