Description
It is nice that git-crypt reads the gpg executable from the git config `gpg.program` configuration.
This allows one to interface with other PGP implementations, as soon as the desired commands can be rewritten in terms of `gpg` CLI. For instance, we achieved this with a [fork](https://github.com/fortanix/sq-dsm) of [Sequoia-PGP](https://sequoia-pgp.org/) that allows to keep keys inside an HSM, instead of local keys.
It would be even nicer to either
- be able to interface directly with `sq`
- interface with any implementation of [SOP](https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli-00.html) (which includes at least 8 PGP implementations, including gpg - see [this](https://tests.sequoia-pgp.org/))
Apologies if this has been already discussed/considered.
