Honest question: what would signed commits do to help us here anyway? What's the problem being solved? Unfortunately git places signatures in the history itself, so it's not like we could use easily use signatures to indicate acceptance after code review, like we could if we were using monotone for example. Git just wasn't designed for a commit-signing workflow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
