This uses the gpg-interface.[ch] to allow signing the commit, i.e.
$ git commit --gpg-sign -m foo
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>"
4096-bit RSA key, ID 96AFE6CB, created 2011-10-03 (main key ID 713660A7)

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:
- The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
with an option.
- Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).
- The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
block would look like.
- When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.
A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:
$ git cat-file commit HEAD

but "git log" (unless you ask for it with --pretty=raw) output is not
cluttered with the signature information.

We have kept the original "git commit-tree <tree> -p <parent> ..." syntax
forever, but "git commit-tree -p <parent> -p <parent> ... <tree>" would be
more intuitive way to spell it. Dashed flags along with their arguments
come first and then the "thing" argument after the flags.

Remove some stray usage of other bracket types and asterisks for the

This buffer is freed by the C runtime when commit-tree exits moments
later, but freeing it explicitly should make valgrind quieter.

Until now, this has been part of the commit-tree builtin.
However, it is already used by other builtins (like commit,
merge, and notes), and it would be useful to access it from
library code.
The check_valid helper has to come along, too, but is given
a more library-ish name of "assert_sha1_type".
Otherwise, the code is unchanged. There are still a few
rough edges for a library function, like printing the utf8
warning to stderr, but we can address those if and when they
come up as inappropriate.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
