There was another proposal posted by brian last year, using signing keys
the author controls instead of hashes:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220919145231.48245-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net/T/
A different VCS, Pijul, recently adopted a system that seems similar to
brian's proposal, and may provide some inspiration on the user
experience. I haven't seen documentation for it, but there are some
examples of commands here:
