In the Git world that happens via "git tag -s", i.e, a cryptographically strong "signoff". (There's also the secondary convention of appending Signed-off-by: to email-applied patches, but that's something that would translate effectively to any other system, since it's outside the SCM.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
