signed push: teach smart-HTTP to pass "git push --signed" around
The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice that a push certificate needs to be sent. When the transport-helper is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action. For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option. Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes. Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh. Update the test Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through. As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when GnuPG is not being used in the tests. Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check the nonce in this step. This is because the stateless RPC mode is inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push processing is one issued by a different process; if the two interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces will not match and such a check will fail. A later patch in the series will work around this shortcoming. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
