Subject: [PATCH 1/3] builtin/history: sign rewritten commits
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 23:50:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703145037.69832-2-git@5ouma.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703145037.69832-1-git@5ouma.me>
The history commands create replacement commits directly instead of
using the sequencer or the commit porcelain. As a result, rewritten
commits ignore commit.gpgsign and cannot be signed on demand.
Read the usual signing configuration before parsing history options.
Add the commit-style -S/--gpg-sign knob, and pass the selected
signing key through direct rewrites and replayed descendants.
Signed-off-by: Souma <git@5ouma.me>
