Michael J Gruber--no-signoff can be used to override --signoff and -s. This is useful for overriding options set in git aliases.
Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> --- Patch is against 09cff06 (Documentation: Clarify '--signoff' for git-commit, 2008-10-19).
It is "obvious" that one can override boolean options by prepending "no-" for all commands which use the appropriate option parser. But I don't think it's obvious to most users.
On the other hand, having an alias like ci="commit -s" is useful and appropriate depending on a project's policy and a user's discipline. But still one may want to do a few commits without s-o-b. E.g., merge commits (without conflicts) don't get s-o-b lines, but amending them would add a s-o-b line with teh above alias.
Maybe there is a better place to discuss general option parsing? But it's not the same for all commands yet, I think.
