Sign-off added should be that of the "committer" not that of the
"commit's author".
Use the correct logical variable that identifies the committer.

This fixes a small issue when trying to do the following with the script enabled,
$ git commit --amend -s
If the commit being amended was signed off by the commit's author then the above command
would *append* the sign-off of the committer followed by that of the commit's author.
That' because the script is invoked only after the sign-off is added by the '-s' option AND
the default of 'trailer.ifexists' for interpret-trailers currently defaults to the 'addIfDifferentNeighbor'
thus interpret-trailer fails to identify the existing sign-off of the commit's author and adds it.
Anyways, it doesn't make sense for a script to add the sign-off of the commit's author. So,
fixing it seemed correct to me.
