Since git now supports multiple methods for signing objects some of the existing flags and configuration variables can be misleading. Especially the flags could be understood as selecting a format (--gpg-sign), which they do not. This series introduces the more generic name "cryptoSign". Using just "sign" could otherwise be too easily confused with "sign-off". For now I have only adjusted the gpg-sign flag to a single command and added the new configuration prefix and would like to hear some feedback. If we can agree on the naming and implementation I will of course adjust all the other commands likewise and add some tests for the compatibility layer. The `(commit|tag|push).gpgsign` var is still on my todo list as well. My earlier question to the list (<xmqqzgpn50l6.fsf@gitster.g>) did not receive much feedback so i'm sending this rfc patch.
