Thanks, this looks perfect for a small, personal issues use-case.

Before I'd start using this, I would need some things:

  • an easily unwindable history of issues, that would not require me to negotiate changes across all the issues in the repo.
  • an option to enforce signatures (doesn't have to be gpg, could plugin others aswell)

The current state of this PR is meant as a proposal for an initial albeit brittle implementation of this feature.

You'll find my contacts via my profile if you wanna discuss off-platform :)

Archive and fingerprint previous issue edit for faster rendering of
single issue history.

Signature on fingerprint.

All optional.

Commit as object for feature discussion.

Thank you for the contribution! Not sure how this will make the history faster. Isn't git log on the issue's directory fast enough?

I also don't understand how this is / can-be a plugin, given that you call directly archive_by_path .

I added some comments for improving the code.

# signature message is the signature of the TAR archive wrapping the three items, added in the sequence defined by archive_by_path
gpg_key=$(git config --get user.signingKey)
if [ -z "$gpg_key" ]; then
echo "no gpg key"

Please add a comment describing what this function does. Consider also expanding sig.

h=$(sha1sum a.tar.gz | awk '{ print $1; }')
popd
mv -v $t/a.tar.gz $path/${now}_${h}.tar.gz
sig_by_state $1 $h

Please eliminate the -v options to tar, cp, mv. By default the operation should be silent.
