Well, I believe we have no designation for a 'signed' or 'unsigned'
repository. It is more specifically signed or unsigned revisions. The
way I can tell that someone is pulling my branches, is that for every
revision they pull, I get a failed ".sig" and ".sig.gz" in my HTTP logs.

I suppose we could add a flag to repositories to indicate if they are
signed or not. Right now, I think it is all just a user level
preference, which doesn't really work all that well. (We don't ever
actually check signatures, so they don't help a lot).
Last time I tried, it wasn't even clear that they were being generated.
I would like to start, but I was waiting to hear from Robert that they
were officially supported before I did. (I would also like a tool that
could go back through the current tree, and check for commits with my
user id, and ask if I want to sign them. Then I can retroactively sign
all of my bzr work.)
