Re: git-format-patch question

1. When is one supposed to use --signoff?  I gather the answer is

You shouldn't ;-).  Rather, you should sign-off when you make a
commit, or if you are forwarding somebody else's patch, before
you send the e-mail off.  

2. How should I add extra notes to an email generated using
   git-format-patch?  Is this in the docs somewhere that I missed?  Is
   there a recommended way to do this?

Read the format-patch output in your e-mail buffer and edit just
like you edit any text you write in your e-mail.
