Welp, there go my Git signatures

Maybe Git could leverage git-notes as a mechanism for allowing re-signing commits without changing the hashes.

Oh, interesting! There's a new thing about Git that I learned today…

With notes, I think the merge strategy may need to be changed, in case multiple people want to re-sign the same commit, but that shouldn't be too bad. The only thing left is to find a way to leverage the functionality, but having the foundation there should make it much easier!

That exactly how one can put multiple signatures on a commit.

That's interesting! You should post that to HN directly, since it hasn't been posted before.

Git's underlying data model is simple yet extremely flexible (see e.g. [0]), well just like OpenPGP I guess.

As for the article you're welcome to post it yourself :)
