This command that will be run when user.signingkey is not set and a ssh
signature is requested. On successful exit a valid ssh public key is
expected in the first line of its output. To automatically use the first
available key from your ssh-agent set this to "ssh-add -L".
signature is requested. On successful exit a valid ssh public key
prefixed with `key::` is expected in the first line of its output.

A file containing ssh public keys which you are willing to trust.
