The sample hook to prepare the commit message before a commit allows users to opt-in to add the signature to the commit message. The signature is added at a place that isn't consistent with the "-s" option of "git commit". Further, it could go out of view in certain cases. Add the signature to the top of the commit message as it's more appropriate and consistent with the "-s" option of git commit.
