SubmittingPatches: tighten wording on "sign-off" procedure
The text says "if you can certify DCO then you add a Signed-off-by trailer". But it does not say anything about people who cannot or do not want to certify. A natural reading may be that if you do not certify, you must not add the trailer, but it shouldn't hurt to be overly explicit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
