Hi Alexander, Darcs currently does not support signing data inside of repositories.
It does only provide *patch bundle* signing in the "darcs send" command and checking the signature in "darcs apply". Now, patch signing in Darcs seems dificult to implement because context changes modify the actual contents of patches. That is, for a given patch, there are many possible contexts for it. In theory it would be possible to sign any patch by finding its minimal context and signing its contents against that context, maybe that would be too slow to compute for practical uses, or maybe not. What I think would be easier to do, would be signing tags. Since tags have no content, the idea would be to sign the pristine tree associated to some tag, and the signature would be written in the long description of the tag.
