The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice that a push certificate needs to be sent. When the transport-helper is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action. For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option. Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes. Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh. Update the test Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through. As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when GnuPG is not being used in the tests. Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check the nonce in this step. This is because the stateless RPC mode is inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push processing is one issued by a different process; if the two interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces will not match and such a check will fail. A later patch in the series will work around this shortcoming. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
