fixing unsigned commits
git rebase --exec 'git commit --amend --no-edit -n -S' -i <previous-commit>
make a branch from your branch with unsigned commits (git checkout -b ...)
use git log --show-signature to see which are not signed
use the commit BEFORE the first one you want to fix in the above command (as <previous-commit>)
accept the generated file (don't change it)
save the file
use git log --show-signature to show the commits are now signed
push up

I tried this and it fails with "error: gpg failed to sign the data", I think because gpg needs the passphrase, and it's not interactive.

I found the solution to this at https://gist.github.com/paolocarrasco/18ca8fe6e63490ae1be23e84a7039374
