26           preference. The commit will be aborted if the message is left

64           involve deleting it, but if possible, the content may simply be
65           rename()ed into the repository rather than creating a new copy.

80       --gpg-sign="KEY-ID"

85           GPG home directory to use when looking for keyrings (if have GPGME
