Three hyphens are rendered verbatim in documentation, so "--" has to be used to produce a dash. Fix asciidoc output for dashes.

|
|
gitformat-signature - Git cryptographic signature formats
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
<[tag|commit] object header(s)>
|
|
<over-the-wire protocol>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Git uses cryptographic signatures in various places, currently objects (tags,
|
|
commits, mergetags) and transactions (pushes). In every case, the command which
|
|
is about to create an object or transaction determines a payload from that,
|
|
calls gpg to obtain a detached signature for the payload (`gpg -bsa`) and
|
|
embeds the signature into the object or transaction.
|
|
|
|
Signatures always begin with `-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----`
|
|
and end with `-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----`, unless gpg is told to
|
|
produce RFC1991 signatures which use `MESSAGE` instead of `SIGNATURE`.
|
|
|
|
Signatures sometimes appear as a part of the normal payload
|
|
(e.g. a signed tag has the signature block appended after the payload
|
|
that the signature applies to), and sometimes appear in the value of
|
|
an object header (e.g. a merge commit that merged a signed tag would
|
|
have the entire tag contents on its "mergetag" header). In the case
|
|
of the latter, the usual multi-line formatting rule for object
|
|
headers applies. I.e. the second and subsequent lines are prefixed
|
|
with a SP to signal that the line is continued from the previous
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
This is even true for an originally empty line. In the following
|
|
examples, the end of line that ends with a whitespace letter is
|
|
highlighted with a `$` sign; if you are trying to recreate these
|
|
example by hand, do not cut and paste them--they are there
|
|
primarily to highlight extra whitespace at the end of some lines.
|
|
|
|
The signed payload and the way the signature is embedded depends
|
|
on the type of the object resp. transaction.
|
|
|
|
== Tag signatures
|
|
|
|
- created by: `git tag -s`
|
|
- payload: annotated tag object
|
|
- embedding: append the signature to the unsigned tag object
|
|
- example: tag `signedtag` with subject `signed tag`

- created by: `git merge` on signed tag
|
|
- payload/embedding: the whole signed tag object is embedded into

the (merge) commit object as header entry `mergetag`
|
|
