Subject: Is git clone followed by git verify-tag meaningful?
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 16:32:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190828203224.GE26001@chatter.i7.local> (raw)

Hi, all:

If I know that a project uses tag signing, would "git clone" followed by 
"git verify-tag" be meaningful without a "git fsck" in-between? I.e. if 
an attacker has control over the remote server, can they sneak in any 
badness into any of the resulting files and still have the clone, 
checkout, and verify-tag return success unless the repository is fsck'd 
before verify-tag?

I assume that it would break during the checkout stage, but I wanted to 
verify my assumptions.

Thanks,
-K
