Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] fast-import: add 'abort-if-invalid' mode to '--signed-commits=<mode>'
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:14:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326191414.3783974-3-jltobler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326191414.3783974-1-jltobler@gmail.com>
The '--signed-commits=<mode>' option for git-fast-import(1) configures
how signed commits are handled when encountered. In cases where an
invalid commit signature is encountered, a user may wish to abort the
operation entirely. Introduce an 'abort-if-invalid' mode to do so.

Valid signatures are left unchanged. If `<keyid>` is provided, that key is
used for signing; otherwise the configured default signing key is used.
