Hello,
Just wanted to say there's a little script at [1] that saves the certificate blobs generated on the server side by "git push --signed".
Quoting from the source:
# Collects the cert blob on push and saves it, then, if a certain number of # signed pushes have been seen, processes all the "saved" blobs in one go, # adding them to the special ref 'refs/push-certs'. This is done in a way # that allows searching for all the certs pertaining to one specific branch # (thanks to Junio Hamano for this idea plus general brainstorming).
Note that although I posted it in the gitolite ML, this has very little to do with gitolite. Any git server can use it, with only one very minor change [2] needed.

[2]: Either set the GL_OPTIONS_GPC_PENDING environment variable by reading its value from 'git config', or replace the only line that uses that variable, with some other "test".
