I agree with Ben's assessment. A stand-in tool for gpgsm support will
not be useful without a way to configure it with Git. I think that
treating this series as ``add support for _gpgsm-like tools_'' is
sensible, and a reasonable compromise between:

  - More generalized support.
  - No support at all.

Thanks,
Taylor
