If you want to GPG sign all your commits, you have to add the -S option
all the time. The commit.gpgsign config option allows to sign all
commits automatically.

I'm somewhat horrified to imagine the end-user experience this
"feature" adds to the system; if one sets htis configuration and
then runs "git rebase" or anything that internally creates or
recreates commits, does one have to sign each and every commit, even
if such a rebase was done merely as a trial run to see if a topic
can be rebased to an older codebase, or something?

Probably so, but you can use an agent so this happens automatically.
It's not very useful for people who don't use an agent.
