I need to go back in the archives and see where I can find an example of this but in the meantime to ask the obvious, is fossil verifying the signatures as part of the commit process or does fossil simply carry the data so the signature can be verified manually? On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 08:00:41PM

much requested capability. But then again I do about 1% of my development on UNIX and 99% elsewhere so a lot of things in UNIX seem strange to me and I probably miss the point a lot. On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 11:37:22AM -0400, Ron Wilson wrote: > On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 10:14 AM, John Lon
