If you need to type in a password to unlock your keychain (e.g. default behavior for gpg-agent), then signing commits one at a time constantly is annoying.

Does "own" try to sign working copy snapshot commits too? That would greatly increase the number and frequency of signatures.

Ah, I use my SSH key to sign my commits and I don't have a password on my SSH key.

Yes
