Re: [PATCH] signature-format.txt: explain and illustrate multi-line headers

Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:

A signature attached to a signed commit, and the contents of the
commit that merged a signed tag, are both recorded as a value of an
object header field as a multi-line value, and are subject to the
formatting convention for multi-line values in the headers, with a
leading SP signaling that the rest of the line is a continuation of
the previous line.  Most notably, an empty line in such a multi-line
value would result in a line with a sole SP on it.

One question I had was whether git's requirement was strictly a space,
or if it was following the rfc-822 convention where (if I remember
correctly) a tab is equivalent, i.e. the LWSP production in the grammar.
