2012-05-25ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICTJeff King
Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all, we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK for them to end up in things like reflogs). When future commits add more quality checks on the identity, each of these callers would want to use those checks, too. Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag, let's refactor the flag. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-01-05verify_signed_buffer: fix stale commentJunio C Hamano
The function used to take an integer flag to specify where the output should go, but these days we supply a strbuf to receive it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-11-05Split GPG interface into its own helper libraryJunio C Hamano
This mostly moves existing code from builtin/tag.c (for signing) and builtin/verify-tag.c (for verifying) to a new gpg-interface.c file to provide a more generic library interface. - sign_buffer() takes a payload strbuf, a signature strbuf, and a signing key, runs "gpg" to produce a detached signature for the payload, and appends it to the signature strbuf. The contents of a signed tag that concatenates the payload and the detached signature can be produced by giving the same strbuf as payload and signature strbuf. - verify_signed_buffer() takes a payload and a detached signature as <ptr, len> pairs, and runs "gpg --verify" to see if the payload matches the signature. It can optionally capture the output from GPG to allow the callers to pretty-print it in a way more suitable for their contexts. "verify-tag" (aka "tag -v") used to save the whole tag contents as if it is a detached signature, and fed gpg the payload part of the tag. It relied on gpg to fail when the given tag is not signed but just is annotated. The updated run_gpg_verify() function detects the lack of detached signature in the input, and errors out without bothering "gpg". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
