Re: [PATCH 0/4] Expose gpgsig in pretty-print

Michał Górny [off-list ref] writes:

Just a suggestion: since the raw signature is not very useful without
the commit data to check it against, and the commit data is non-trivial
to construct (requires mangling raw data anyway), maybe you could either
add another placeholder to get the data for signature verification, or
(alternatively or simultaneously) add a placeholder that prints both
data and signature in the OpenPGP message format (i.e. something you can
pass straight to 'gpg --verify').

Yeah, the last would be the most usable; anything short of that, I
have to suspect that going from "cat-file commit", rather than using
this new %Gsomething placeholder, would be more practical.
