Re: format-patch signoff argument no longer works

When should one commit _without_ signoff?  

Please, calm down and read Documentation/SubmittingPatches,
item (6), to understand what sign-off means.  It does not have
anything to do with the result of the commit "working".  I do
not use -s when making commits during my day-job, for example.

Doh!  In glancing through the Documentation dir I missed the
SubmittingPatches file. [weak excuse: there are many doc files in that
dir and most are for the commands themselves.  I expected this to be
in howto/.]

Anyhow, much calmer now (apologies if I sounded un-calm, that wasn't
my intention).  The SubmittingPatches doc was _exactly_ what I was
looking for when I posted my original question [*].  My bad for not
finding it when it was staring me in the face.  Thanks for bearing
with me and pointing me to the fine manual :-)
