No. We _designed_ our tag objects so that they are capable of pointing at another tag, not the object that is pointed at that other tag. And that is the example usage I gave you. The statement by Shawn and Jeff, "This tag is Gitster's" is exactly that. It was not about asserting the authenticity of the commit. It was about the tag object I created. > gitster$ git verify-tag --pointed v1.7.10 > tag v1.7.10: OK Just saying "$name: OK" will *never* be acceptable. "A signature made by any key in my keychain is fine" is not the usual use case. At least the output needs to be "Good signature from X". -- 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
