I'd encourage discussion of this bit at least on the appropriate lists
(gentoo-scm?).  My only concern is that validating git commits
requires knowing what a valid git commit looks like, and that might
involve some number of assumptions about how we intend to use git.

This is actually one of the areas surrounding the migration that
hasn't been fully baked. I'm sure everybody has a sense in their head
of how things will work, but I'm not convinced that everybody's
notions are the same.  There has been discussion in the past about
merge vs rebase and so on, and that can have an impact on just what
commits actually end up in our tree, and who if anybody has signed all
of them.

Definitely don't want to slow you down.  I just don't want you to end
up getting burned if things don't go as you expected.  Also, I'm
interested in how you figured everything would work in part because it
might help the rest of us make up our minds...
