Not sure of the best route to trace this data. Signing the SHA1 makes
the most sense, but need to be able to do that without polluting the tag
namespace.

Have the PM push over SSH, and don't ever expire reflogs on the
central repository?  The reflog will have the old and new commits
and the user name of the PM.

All pushing to the central repo will be git+ssh:// anyway.

I don't follow where the PM's identity is being stored, and how that's
distributed back out with the later pulls.

The other downside to relying on SSH presentation of identity directly,
is the inability to use the SSH key to uniquely identify the user during
the SSH auth (see designs like gitosis, where you always push to
git+ssh://git@host/repo).
