Ah, rebase -m. That sounds nice, I didn't know about this feature.
In fact, I first tried to write the code in git-rebase--merge, thinking this is 
the default rebase script.

git-rebase--interactive sounds a bit more difficult since you could easily 
modify commits, thereby removing previously GPG signed commits. Although this 
sounds like all the more reason why it would be useful to check for it.

I'll look at the script and ponder about it. I'll post whatever I come up with 
on Thursday (probably) or Friday.
I'll put you in the CC when I post the patch.

Alexander Hirsch

rebase has no --verify-signatures

2015-12-07 Thread Alexander 'z33ky' Hirsch
Hi,

The git merge command has a --verify-signatures flag, which, when set, checks 
that the commits to be merged have trusted GPG signatures. git pull also knows 
this flag and forwards it to the merge command.

However, doing a git pull --rebase --verify-signatures silently ignores it, 
since rebase has no --verify-signatures flag.

Is there any technical reason why rebase should not have a --verify-signatures 
flag? I have written a patch to git-rebase--am which enables it to do such a 
check. If there is no reason not to include it I'd add documentation and a test 
and submit it.

Otherwise I think git pull should warn, or even die with an error, if both 
--rebase and --verify-signatures are passed.

Regards,
Alexander Hirsch

As far as I know, there is no technical reason that it shouldn't.  It's
probably that nobody has implemented it yet.  I'd certainly be
interested in such a patch.

For a thorough change, you'd probably want to make it work with
git-rebase--merge and git-rebase--interactive as well.  I'm sure I'm not
the only person who frequently uses rebase -m.
