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?

Yes, all rebased commits will be signed, even if it was done as a trial
run. But I don't see this as a problem. The signature indicate who did
the rebase.
