Ah, to add to below..

If one wished, one could optionally store the actual signature data as a seperate blob object and refer to it in the signing object. Not needed really for a GPG ASCII clear-signed detached signature (tiny and they're ASCII obviously :) ), but who knows.

So a 'signed commit' turns into the

- tool preparing the commit object,
	- get the user to sign it
	- save the detached signature for later
- adding the commit object to the repository

  - adding the signature blob, if it is to stored as a blob

- prepare the signing object and add to repository

The repository head then refers then to signature object, which could (handwaving) look something like:

	Object		Signature
	Signing 	<object ID, in this case of the commit object>
	Sign-type 	GPG

With either a 'Signature  <ID of signature data blob>' or else:

	<signature data>
