The one for the signature on the commit itself is me being lazy and defensive; I did not want to have to worry about people mucking with what is in commit->buffer for whatever reason (e.g. re-encode in different charset, etc.) and then asking the signature validated. The other one for the merge-tag is me just being lazy, as it is unlikely to be corrupt by any reasonable kinds of mucking with commit->buffer on a merge. -- 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
