Re: signing commits

You could sign each revision with the PGP key of the commiter. i.e.
compute the checksum of the diff ( with MD5 or whatever ), and sign it.
Could even be stored on the SVN server itself. If the server is
compromised, they still can't fake a correct signature.

Problem though is how to reconstruct the checksum of the changes locally
when you do svn update ?
