Andy Parkins 59f3e25480 hooks/commit-msg: add example to add Signed-off-by line to message
After checking to see if the commit message already has the target
signed-off-by (for example in --amend commits), this patch generates a
signed off by line from the repository owner and adds it to the commit
message.

Based on Johannes Schindelin's earlier patch to perform the same
function.

Originally, this was done in the pre-commit hook but Junio pointed out
that the commit-msg hook allows the message to be edited.  This has the
aditional advantage that the commit-msg hook gets passed the name of the
message file as a parameter, so it doesn't have to figure out GIT_DIR for
itself.

# An example hook script to check the commit log message.
# Called by git-commit with one argument, the name of the file
# that has the commit message. The hook should exit with non-zero
# status after issuing an appropriate message if it wants to stop the
# commit. The hook is allowed to edit the commit message file.
#
# To enable this hook, make this file executable.
# Uncomment the below to add a Signed-off-by line to the message.
# SOB=$(git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT | sed -n 's/^\(.*>\).*$/Signed-off-by: \1/p')
# grep -qs "^$SOB" "$1" || echo "$SOB" >> "$1"
# This example catches duplicate Signed-off-by lines.
test "" = "$(grep '^Signed-off-by: ' "$1" |
sort | uniq -c | sed -e '/^[ ]*1[ ]/d')" || {
echo >&2 Duplicate Signed-off-by lines.
exit 1
