===== QUOTE ===== Don't use PGP/GPG signatures in mail that contains patches. This breaks many scripts that read and apply the patches. (This should be fixable.) ===== END QUOTE ===== This is in Linux' Documentation/email-clients.txt since 2007, and still almost nobody signs patch submissions. There are few brave people who do, though, and seems it's not the end of world for any "scripts". The broken scripts could be an excuse in 2007, but not today. Proposal: 1. Implement signing option in git-send-email. 2. Figure out if anything fails to interoperate. 3. Drop the quoted statement or change it to appreciate signing.Attachment: signature.asc
