In that case, how about doing something similar to what was done to
'set-upstream' option of branch? We could print a warning notice when
the commit message is found to be empty due to the presence of a sign-
off line. As usual we could stop warning and stop identifying log
messages consisting only signed-off lines as empty after a few years of
doing that.

Note: I have no idea how good an idea this is. Let me know if it's a
bad one.
