+gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile::
+ A file containing ssh public keys which you are willing to trust.
+ The file consists of one or more lines of principals followed by an ssh
+ public key.
+ e.g.: user1@example.com,user2@example.com ssh-rsa AAAAX1...
+ See ssh-keygen(1) "ALLOWED SIGNERS" for details.
+ The principal is only used to identify the key and is available when

++
+SSH has no concept of trust levels like gpg does. To be able to differentiate
+between valid signatures and trusted signatures the trust level of a signature
+verification is set to `fully` when the public key is present in the allowedSignersFile.
+Therefore to only mark fully trusted keys as verified set gpg.minTrustLevel to `fully`.
+Otherwise valid but untrusted signatures will still verify but show no principal
+name of the signer.
++
+This file can be set to a location outside of the repository and every developer
+maintains their own trust store. A central repository server could generate this
+file automatically from ssh keys with push access to verify the code against.
+In a corporate setting this file is probably generated at a global location
+from automation that already handles developer ssh keys.
++
+A repository that only allows signed commits can store the file
+in the repository itself using a path relative to the top-level of the working tree.
+This way only committers with an already valid key can add or change keys in the keyring.

+Using a SSH CA key with the cert-authority option

+ Either a SSH KRL or a list of revoked public keys (without the principal prefix).
+ See ssh-keygen(1) for details.
+ If a public key is found in this file then it will always be treated
+ as having trust level "never" and signatures will show as invalid.
