And all of this is impacted by how we do thin manifests and commit |
| 8 |
signing. |

Thin manifests are those that contain ONLY entries for files not covered |
| 11 |
by another (direct or indirect) hash in the VCS. Git's use of SHA1 |
| 12 |
allows a conversion from Git+thin Manifest to classical Manifest2. |

Commit signing has a few implications/side-effects: |
| 15 |
- commits are signed so Manifests are NOT signed anymore. |
| 16 |
- During the conversion to classical Manifest2, we need to create |
| 17 |
automated signatures (see the tree-signing GLEPs for MetaManifest). |
| 18 |
- As a side advantage of the automated Manifests/signatures, we can use |
| 19 |
the Manifest2 changes proposed in the tree-signing GLEPs to cover ALL |
| 20 |
of the profiles and eclasses. |

I'm going to be away Thursday till Monday, so the lack of any further |
| 23 |
impact from me doesn't mean I don't have an opinion, rather just that |
| 24 |
I'm away from the Internet. |
