Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] gpg-interface: introduce sign_buffer_with_key()
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:11:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310201116.1130160-3-jltobler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310201116.1130160-1-jltobler@gmail.com>

The `sign_commit_to_strbuf()` helper in "commit.c" provides fallback
logic to get the default configured signing key when a key is not
provided and handles generating the commit signature accordingly. This
signing operation is not really specific to commits as any arbitrary
buffer can be signed. Also, in a subsequent commit, this same logic is
reused by git-fast-import(1) when re-signing invalid commit signatures.

Move the `sign_commit_to_strbuf()` helper from "commit.c" to
"gpg-interface.c" and rename it to `sign_buffer_with_key()`. Also export
this function so it can be used by "commit.c" and
"builtin/fast-import.c" in the subsequent commit.
