Doc update. * gm/signature-format-doc: signature-format.txt: note SSH and X.509 signature delimiters
2023-02-27signature-format.txt: note SSH and X.509 signature delimitersGwyneth Morgan1-5/+17
This document only explains PGP signatures, but Git now supports X.509 signatures as of 1e7adb9756 (gpg-interface: introduce new signature format "x509" using gpgsm, 2018-07-17), and SSH signatures as of 29b315778e (ssh signing: add ssh key format and signing code, 2021-09-10). Additionally, explain that these signature formats are controlled `gpg.format`, linking to its documentation, and explain in said `gpg.format` documentation that the underlying signature format is documented in signature-format.txt.

2023-01-23Documentation: render dash correctlyAndrei Rybak1-1/+1
Three hyphens are rendered verbatim in documentation, so "--" has to be used to produce a dash. Fix asciidoc output for dashes. This is similar to previous commits f0b922473e (Documentation: render special characters correctly, 2021-07-29) and de82095a95 (doc hash-function-transition: fix asciidoc output, 2021-02-05).
