I agree that the proposed commit log message should be updated to
say so.
Because we do not want .showsignature configuration to affect
rev-list nor format-patch, and we will not make "--show-sig" the
default for them either. From that point of view, there is no
reason for them to know about the "--no-show-signature" option.
The only reason why teaching the "--no-show-signature" option to
these commands is a good idea is because it would help people who
create an alias with "--show-sig" in early part of the command line,
e.g.
[alias] fp = format-patch --show-signature
by allowing them to countermand with --no-show-signature, i.e.
$ git fp --no-show-signature ...
If we are updating the log message in the final submission of this
patch, we'd want it to be clear that the presence of this option is
not an excuse to introduce .showsignature that affects rev-list
later to make sure we do not have to waste our time rejecting such a
patch in the future.
