Merge branch 'jc/push-cert'
Allow "git push" request to be signed, so that it can be verified and audited, using the GPG signature of the person who pushed, that the tips of branches at a public repository really point the commits the pusher wanted to, without having to "trust" the server. * jc/push-cert: (24 commits) receive-pack::hmac_sha1(): copy the entire SHA-1 hash out signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless mode signed push: teach smart-HTTP to pass "git push --signed" around signed push: fortify against replay attacks signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificate signed push: remove duplicated protocol info send-pack: send feature request on push-cert packet receive-pack: GPG-validate push certificates push: the beginning of "git push --signed" pack-protocol doc: typofix for PKT-LINE gpg-interface: move parse_signature() to where it should be gpg-interface: move parse_gpg_output() to where it should be send-pack: clarify that cmds_sent is a boolean send-pack: refactor inspecting and resetting status and sending commands send-pack: rename "new_refs" to "need_pack_data" receive-pack: factor out capability string generation send-pack: factor out capability string generation send-pack: always send capabilities send-pack: refactor decision to send update per ref send-pack: move REF_STATUS_REJECT_NODELETE logic a bit higher ...

+Push Certificate
+----------------
+
+A push certificate begins with a set of header lines. After the
+header and an empty line, the protocol commands follow, one per
+line.
+
+Currently, the following header fields are defined:
+
+`pusher` ident::
+ Identify the GPG key in "Human Readable Name <email@address>"
+ format.
+
+`pushee` url::
+ The repository URL (anonymized, if the URL contains
+ authentication material) the user who ran `git push`
+ intended to push into.
+
+`nonce` nonce::
+ The 'nonce' string the receiving repository asked the
+ pushing user to include in the certificate, to prevent
+ replay attacks.
+
+The GPG signature lines are a detached signature for the contents
+recorded in the push certificate before the signature block begins.
+The detached signature is used to certify that the commands were
+given by the pusher, who must be the signer.
