In projects that use Signed-off-by, it's convenient to include that line in the commit by default. The commit.signoff config option allows to add that line in all commits automatically.

Document that this config option can be overriden by using --no-signoff.

Hello, also would be great to have bash completion for the --no-signoff
Thank you.

In both tests, you should probably use 'test_config' instead of 'git config [...] git config --unset', it takes care of it for you (also should prevent the case where the config is not unset when your test fails in the middle).

For example, the first test would be:
test_expect_success 'commit.signoff config option' '
	test_config commit.signoff true &&
	echo "yet another content *narf*" >> foo &&
	echo "zort" | git commit -F - foo &&
	git cat-file commit HEAD | sed "1,/^\$/d" > output &&
	test_cmp expect output

Posted a v2 with this improvement and the bash completion. Thanks for the review.
