Do you think I would have asked otherwise? I'm trying to be helpful by testing out a patch in flight. That is: *I* am trying to be helpful.

[doing it] similar to how signed tag is done". Before that, I misread those paragraphs (togetheter with the non-existing object format doc) to mean that have a section in the object which is ignored automatically, which is where tag signatures are (while in fact they are not) and where commit signatures will go. I have to say I dislike the fact that we would have different signature formats. But I have spent too much time on this unnecessarily already.
