Actually there's at least one tree where this should be activated -- yours. If you perform a fast-forward merge, there's no record of the merge, no record of which tree was pulled, and no sign-off from you. The commits just appear there. It partially defeats the sign-off system.

This feature would be good for top-level trees and for major subsystem trees IMO.

What? You should sign-off on stuff you did not review? Or do you review the stuff _before_ merging? I don't.

Obviously one signs off only after some sort of review. Some merges might be reviewed line-by-line, and some might be reviewed by looking at the maintainer's name and shortlog for a sanity check, but obviously you don't pull blind.

Anyway currently whether a merge record and a sign-off appear is a fairly random decision, based on the time of the last rebase the pullee did. Whichever way is chosen (record/no record) I don't think it should be based on that.
