Re: git-secret - store your private data inside a repository

Have you seen the much older pwstore tool? https://github.com/formorer/pwstore

It does have some notable features missing from git-secret and similar
tools to this day.
- Whitelist of trusted keys to detect addition of unexpected keys.
- Specify what users/groups have access to any given file (via a header
  in each file, which implies that the file must be plaintext).

I've wondered if storing metadata about the objects in notes might
improve matters: 
- a clearsigned block with verifiable readable data (eg who in a team
  can access)
- an encrypted block with the inner key (nice side effect that this
  separates versioning of the wrapped inner key from the versioning of
  the object).

This also a nice property that when you revoke/remove an outer (user) key, can know implicitly the old secrets they had access to (which should probably be rotated, as you don't know if they have a copy of them outside of the system).

Yes, I'm aware of other system's like Hashicorp's Vault, but do appreciate the simplicity of git-secret, pass [1], pwstore [2] and other simpler tools.

    It's at least as old as the Git history indicates, possibly
	older, I don't know if the Git history included a full conversion of
	SVN history.
