git: the several ways to "--sign" (intermediate) anthony explains

[@sadhlife]

PGP is proprietary tech, OpenPGP is the open spec derived from that tech, and GPG is the GNU tool implementing the same.

You probably did have the signoff, you ran cat-file against the previous commit :)

If you're going to do GPG signing of stuff in git it's nice to configure auto-signing of commits and tags via:
$ git config --global commit.gpgsign true
$ git config --global tag.gpgSign true
Note it's a lowercase s for commits and an uppercase S for tags... :) Then you don't have to remember to type --gpg-sign/-S on git commit or -s/--sign on git tags
