My script just grabs all the Signed-off-by lines in the commit message.

My version (2.19.1 and 2.20.0) of git does not say it is incompatible
with --interactive, so maybe the last is true :-)  It says:

           Note that
           if --interactive is given then only commits marked to be picked,
           edited or reworded will have the trailer added.
