Currently, users who do not have GPG installed have no way to discern
signed from unsigned commits without examining raw commit data. I
propose two new pretty-print placeholders to expose this information:
%GR: full ("R"aw) contents of gpgsig header
%G+: Y/N if the commit has nonempty gpgsig header or not
The second is of course much more likely to be used, but having exposed
the one, exposing the other too adds almost no complexity.
I'm open to suggestion on the names of these placeholders.
This commit is based on master but e5a329a279 ("run-command: report exec
failure" 2018-12-11) is required for the tests to pass.
One note is that this change touches areas of the pretty-format
documentation that are radically revamped in aw/pretty-trailers: see
42617752d4 ("doc: group pretty-format.txt placeholders descriptions"
2018-12-08). I have another version of this branch based on that branch
as well, so you can use that in case conflicts with aw/pretty-trailers
arise.
