We'd usually say this as:

merge: add a --signoff flag

Or something like that.

It would be nice to split this into a at least a couple of paragraphs,
and more closely follow the format suggested by
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

These more details include my outstanding question in

The convention for adding new tests is not to add a new one after
whatever name sorts the highest, see "Naming Tests" in t/README.

I.e. this should be somewhere in t[6-7]* with the other merge tests.

This setup function doesn't && its commands together, so a fail in any
one of these won't be detecten. Any reason you don't just add this to
the test_expect_success below, where we would detect this?

Also most of your commit/add etc. could probably be replaced with the
test_commit helper, see t/README.
