[PATCH 0/3] verify-commit: verify commit signatures

Hi there,

Some of you may remember me from my more active times...

Anyways, a recent blog post about signed commits in git triggered me to look at our tools for that again. It seems that we only have the log/pretty family on the user facing side, but everything we need under the hood.

So here's a suggestion to implement verify-commit in a way which is completely analogous to verify-tag. In fact, it could be coded more elegantly, but I kept it this way so that we could merge the two more easily in case we wish to do so.

I will follow up with tests if the design principle is something we agree upon.

  pretty: free the gpg status buf
  gpg-interface: provide access to the payload
  verify-commit: scriptable commit signature verification
