Implementing commit signing

Hello,

I am looking at using Git within our organisation, and verifying the source of commits has been raised as a concern. GPG signing individual commits has been discussed at least once on this list [1]. I got the impression from that thread that if a patch to implement it were submitted then it would probably get accepted. I have a few questions:

  1) Is that actually the case at present? I ask to avoid doing the work
and
     having it rejected.

  2) If it were accepted into Git, would an equivalent patch be accepted
into
     jgit? Would patches for UI to use it be accepted into egit?

I can not promise that we will actually write this patch as I am going to present it internally as one option and using hooks scripts as another, but it would be more likely to happen if there were positive answers to those questions.

Thanks, Arunan Bala
