No. I want in fact just to use "Signed-off-by: jidanni@jidanni.org",
but apparently
1) man git-config mentions
       commit.template
           Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages.

but doesn't mention what file is being used presently, so one can know
what to adjust.

2) .git/hooks/commit-msg etc. don't seem to control that line.
3) Making a line without a name would probably break other things.

git commit --help tells how this configuration option is used, in the 
documentation of the "-t" option.

Well, then use your legal name -- unicode is allowed.

as one needs a template in order to modify a template... in case
someone one day wants to. Not me. I'm happy already.

I think everybody on the list now understands that you desperately want to be different.  I think it would be beneficial for you to try making a difference in areas that matter, instead of just trying to be different in how your name is spelled.

Just my two yen ;-)

There is no file being used presently.  With the "-m" or "-F" option, no 
template is ever used.  Without those options, either the argument to "-t" or 
the value of commit.template is used in that order; the editor is invoked on 
that.  Finally if neither of those are defined the editor is invoked on a 
new, empty file.
as one needs a template in order to modify a template.
You aren't modifying the template with commit.template or "-t", you are 
specifying one.  You can create one from scratch in your editor of choice.

OK, but there should be a reference to any %escapes available in
templates, etc.

Or say the template is purely and additional ".signature" style file
that will be inserted at some certain spot...

There are none, at least not right now.

There's what it says:
"Use the contents of the given file as the initial version of the
commit message. The editor is invoked and you can make subsequent
changes. [...] This overrides the commit.template
configuration variable."
	-- 'git commit --help'

What isn't clear about that?  It's not an *extra* file; it is the template 
(what you start with) for commit messages.

I see, it's not replacing something current. It is adding something
extra. OK, would have never guessed. OK, stopping here.

Be nice, they are obviously a bit peculiar about their name/sign-off name :).

If you are telling me that I said something un-nice, I apologize. I did not mean to offend anybody. But I do not understand.  Who do you mean by they in your sentence?
