I know how to configure the Mercurial signing extension. The problem that I'm having is that I don't want to sign each individual change set, I only want to sign revisions that introduce new version tags.

That's easily accomplished locally, however I can't come up with a way to enforce this on the remote server. I'd like people to continue to be able to push their changes as normal, unless adding a release tag, which should be accompanied by a signature.

The end result should be that anyone cloning our repository can easily see a list of signed revisions, which point to a list of signed releases.

Hopefully, I've just missed something obvious in hooklib. Has anyone else accomplished this, if so, how?
