I was just assuming it handles only (2) without checking further, so I may be wrong. But I do not think it makes sense to conflate (2) and (3). A merge commit may have both, and they are separate signatures. For that matter, is there a way to expose (3) currently, besides via --show-signature? It does not trigger "%GG" and friends (nor should it). It may make sense to add extra format specifiers for mergetag signatures. Though I do not use them myself, so I am not clear on what the use case is besides a manual, human verification of a particular merge. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
