No, no, don't consider my "put in the merge message" a winner at all.
I personally dislike it, and don't really think it's a wonderful thing at all. I really does have real downsides:
- internal signatures really *are* a disaster for maintenance. You can never fix them if they need fixing (and "need fixing" may well be "you want to re-sign things after a repository format change")
- they are ugly as heck, and you really don't want to see them in 99.999% of all cases.
So putting those things iin the merge commit message may have some upsides, but it has tons of downsides too.
I think your refs/audit/ idea should be given real thought, because maybe that's the right idea.
