Not sure about the --signoff part. The committer email/name is already
silently added to the commit by git even when using --author. Moreover, When
reading the 
"<http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.29/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L282>12)
Sign your work " section of SubmittingPatches from the linux kernel source (
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/SubmttingPatches ), it seems to me
that using SignedOffBy is useless if the initial author of the patch didn't
use it :

"The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch,
which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
<http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.29/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L291>pass
it on as a open-source patch." (snipped a lot of explanations after this
sentence)

Cheers,

Christophe
