If this approach is used then it would be nice to have a .gitconfig 
switch to require trusted pulls by default: to not allow doing 
non-signed or untrusted pulls accidentally, or for Git to warn in a 
visible, hard to miss way if there's a non-signed pull.

This adds social uncertainty (and an element of a silent alarm) to a 
realistic attack: the attacker wouldnt know exactly how the puller 
checks signed pull requests, it's kept private.

Thanks,
