Allow enabling/disabling commit Signed-off-by on a per-repository basis

[sebthom]

Description

EGit provides a global setting to automatically include "Signed-off-by" messages in commits.

I propose adding an option to enable/disable this setting on a per-git-repository basis.

Motivation

In my workspace, I work on projects from various contexts (open-source, in-house, client projects, etc.), each with its own commit policies. Some projects require "Signed-off-by" messages, while for others, it’s unnecessary and just noise.

Currently, I have the global setting disabled and manually amend commits as needed. However, when switching between projects, I sometimes forget to adjust this, which leads to issues that I only notice after a failed PR or CI run. This can be time-consuming and frustrating.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have this as a per-repository setting?

@tomaswolf that's what I basically meant. :-) Thanks for your comment!
