The crucial question for this is to know in which scenario you are:
1/ Do you want to be able to pull safe (signed) patches from an untrusted
repository?
2/ If so, do you want to be able to pull them even if they have been
commuted in the untrusted repo?
Yes, those are the properties that I expect from a signed patch.
If the answer to 1 and 2 are “yes”, then you do need minimal contexts, but
they add significant complexity in record (which becomes quadratic), which is
going to be unacceptable for many people. In that case you'd want to make
record and sign/compute minimal context two separate operations, so that
for example, I only need quadratic time for the patches I send to my erythrean
dissident friends².
Yes.
