Merge branch 'fs/ssh-signing-other-keytypes'

The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys
for keytypes whose name do not begin with the "ssh-" prefix by
using the "key::" prefix mechanism (e.g. "key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256").

* fs/ssh-signing-other-keytypes:
  ssh signing: make sign/amend test more resilient
  ssh signing: support non ssh-* keytypes

-	If gpg.format is set to "ssh" this can contain the literal ssh public
-	key (e.g.: "ssh-rsa XXXXXX identifier") or a file which contains it and
-	corresponds to the private key used for signing. The private key
-	needs to be available via ssh-agent. Alternatively it can be set to

+	If gpg.format is set to `ssh` this can contain the path to either
+	your private ssh key or the public key when ssh-agent is used.
+	Alternatively it can contain a public key prefixed with `key::`

+	needs to be available via ssh-agent. If not set git will call
+	gpg.ssh.defaultKeyCommand (e.g.: "ssh-add -L") and try to use the

+	begins with "ssh-", such as "ssh-rsa XXXXXX identifier", is treated
+	as "key::ssh-rsa XXXXXX identifier", but this form is deprecated;
+	use the `key::` form instead.
