Well, there are often times when I commit something to a throw-away 
branch, where I do not want to sign it off.

That was my original incentive to add this option BTW: I usually clean up 
a patch series in a cycle of tests and fixes, and only want to sign off on 
the final version.

If people need this option, I'll implement it, so speak up!

Ciao,
