My phrasing was too loose. This is a "how to verify a distro
tarball" (without having a copy of the project repository, but with
some common tools like "git") scenario.
The verifier has a tarball. In addition, the verifier knows the
object name of the Git tree object the tarball was taken from, and
somehow trusts that the object name is genuine. We can do either
"untar + git-add . && git write-tree" or its equivalent to see how
the contents hashes to the expected tree (or not).
How the verifier trusts the object name is out of scope (it may come
from a copy of a signed tag object and a copy of the commit object
that the tag points at and the contents of signed tag object, with
its known format, would allow you to write a stand alone tool to
verify the PGP signature).
Line-end normalization and smudge filter rules may get in the way,
if we truly did "untar" to the filesystem, but I thought "git
archive" didn't do smudge conversion and core.crlf handling when
creating the archive?
