"git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign
its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration
variable, which was an ancient mistake. Rework "git rebase" that
relied on this mistake so that it reads commit.gpgsign and pass (or
not pass) the -S option to "git commit-tree" to keep the end-user
expectation the same, while teaching "git commit-tree" to ignore
the configuration variable. This will stop requiring the users to
sign commit objects used internally as an implementation detail of
"git stash".
* jc/commit-tree-ignore-commit-gpgsign:
commit-tree: do not pay attention to commit.gpgsign
ba3c69a9 (commit: teach --gpg-sign option, 2011-10-05) introduced a
"signed commit" by teaching the --[no]-gpg-sign option and the
commit.gpgsign configuration variable to various commands that
create commits.
Teaching these to "git commit" and "git merge", both of which are
end-user facing Porcelain commands, was perfectly fine. Allowing
the plumbing "git commit-tree" to suddenly change the behaviour to
surprise the scripts by paying attention to commit.gpgsign was not.
Among the in-tree scripts, filter-branch, quiltimport, rebase and
stash are the commands that run "commit-tree". If any of these
wants to allow users to always sign every single commit, they should
offer their own configuration (e.g. "filterBranch.gpgsign") with an
option to disable signing (e.g. "git filter-branch --no-gpgsign").
Ignoring commit.gpgsign option _obviously_ breaks the backward
compatibility, but it is easy to follow the standard pattern in
scripts to honor whatever configuration variable they choose to
follow. E.g.
case $(git config --bool commit.gpgsign) in
true) sign=-S ;;
*) sign= ;;
esac &&
git commit-tree $sign ...whatever other args...
Do so to make sure that "git rebase" keeps paying attention to the
configuration variable, which unfortunately is a documented mistake.

verify-commit by default displays human-readable output on standard
error. However, it can also be useful to get access to the raw gpg
status information, which is machine-readable, allowing automated
implementation of signing policy. Add a --raw option to make
verify-commit produce the gpg status information on standard error
instead of the human-readable format.

verify-commit and verify-tag both share a central codepath for verifying
commits: check_signature. However, verify-tag exited successfully for
untrusted signature, while verify-commit exited unsuccessfully.
Centralize this signature check and make verify-commit adopt the older
verify-tag behavior. This behavior is more logical anyway, as the
signature is in fact valid, whether or not there's a path of trust to
the author.

verify-tag exits successfully if the signature is good but the key is
untrusted. verify-commit exits unsuccessfully. This divergence in
behavior is unexpected and unwanted. Since verify-tag existed earlier,
add a failing test to have verify-commit share verify-tag's behavior.

t7510: do not fail when gpg warns about insecure memory
These are tests which are missing a link in their &&-chain,
but during a setup phase. We may fail to notice failure in
commands that build the test environment, but these are
typically not expected to fail at all (but it's still good
to double-check that our test environment is what we
expect).

Depending on how gpg was built, it may issue the following
message to stderr when run:
Warning: using insecure memory!
When the test is collecting gpg output it is therefore not
enough to just match on a "gpg: " prefix it must also match
on a "Warning: " prefix wherever it needs to match lines
that have been produced by gpg.

Add 'verify-commit' to be used in a way similar to 'verify-tag' is
used. Further work on verifying the mergetags might be needed.
* mg/verify-commit:
t7510: test verify-commit
t7510: exit for loop with test result
verify-commit: scriptable commit signature verification
gpg-interface: provide access to the payload
gpg-interface: provide clear helper for struct signature_check
The final test in t7510 checks that "--format" placeholders
that look similar to GPG placeholders (but that we don't
actually understand) are passed through. That test was
placed in t7510, since the other GPG placeholder tests are
there. However, it does not have a GPG prerequisite, because
it is not actually checking any signed commits.
This causes the test to erroneously fail when gpg is not
installed on a system, however. Not because we need signed
commits, but because we need _any_ commit to run "git log".
If we don't have gpg installed, t7510 doesn't create any
commits at all.
We can fix this by moving the test into t6006. This is
arguably a better place anyway, because it is where we test
most of the other placeholders (we do not test GPG
placeholders there because of the infrastructure needed to
make signed commits).

This mixes the "git verify-commit" tests in with the "git show
--show-signature" tests, to keep the tests more readable.
The tests already mix in the "call show" tests with the "verify" tests.
So in case of a test beakage, a '-v' run would be needed to reveal the
exact point of breakage anyway.
Additionally, test the actual output of "git verify-commit" and "git
show --show-signature" and compare to "git cat-file".

t7510 uses for loops in a subshell, which need to make sure that the test
returns with the appropriate error code from within the loop.
Restructure the loops as the usual && chains with a single point of
"exit 1" at the end of the loop to make this clearer.

If the user asks for --format=%G with nothing else, we
correctly realize that "%G" is not a valid placeholder (it
should be "%G?", "%GK", etc). But we still tell the
strbuf_expand code that we consumed 2 characters, causing it
to jump over the trailing NUL and output garbage.
This also fixes the case where "%GX" would be consumed (and
produce no output). In other cases, we pass unrecognized
placeholders through to the final string.

We do not check these along with the other pretty-format
placeholders in t6006, because we need signed commits to
make them interesting. t7510 has such commits, and can
easily exercise them in addition to the regular
--show-signature code path.

We check multiple commits in a loop. Because we want to
break out of the loop if any single iteration fails, we use
a subshell/exit like:
(
for i in $stuff
do
do-something $i || exit 1
done
)
However, we are inconsistent in our loop body. Some commands
get their own "|| exit 1", and others try to chain to the
next command with "&&", like:
X &&
Y || exit 1
Z || exit 1
This is a little hard to read and follow, because X and Y
are treated differently for no good reason. But much worse,
the second loop follows a similar pattern and gets it wrong.
"Y" is expected to fail, so we use "&& exit 1", giving us:
X &&
Y && exit 1
Z || exit 1
That gets the test for X wrong (we do not exit unless both X
fails and Y unexpectedly succeeds, but we would want to exit
if _either_ is wrong). We can write this clearly and
correctly by consistently using "&&", followed by a single
"|| exit 1", and negating Y with "!" (as we would in a
normal &&-chain). Like:
X &&
! Y &&
Z || exit 1

Our setup creates a sequence of commits, each with its own
tag. However, we sometimes refer to "seventh-signed" as
"master". This works, since it is at the tip of the created
branch, but is brittle if new tests need to add more
commits. Let's use its tag name to be unambiguous.

unsigned commits
