The following ``git-config(1)`` variables are supported:

``gcrypt.participants``
Space-separated list of GPG key identifiers. The remote is
encrypted to these participants and only signatures from these
are accepted. ``gpg -k`` lists all public keys you know.

GNU Privacy Guard
GPG 1.4 or 2 are both supported. You need a configured personal
keypair. GPG configuration applies to algorithm choices for
public-key encryption, symmetric encryption, and signing. See
``man gpg`` for more information.

Remote ID
The generated Remote ID is not secret, it only exists to ensure that
two repositories signed by the same user can be distinguished. You
will see a warning if the Remote ID changes, which should
only happen if the remote was re-created.
