Any way to add a comment? #37

I publish conference notes (sometimes) in a public GitHub repo

Today I took some notes where the presenter asked me not to make my notes public. To still keep all my notes organized and in one place, I wanted to commit the notes encrypted with my own public key. Since this would look very weird, I wanted to also add an explanatory comment (which I'd do in the PGP Comment: field normally) to explain why the contents are encrypted.

I'm having trouble, however, finding a way to do something like this. Is it even possible, or planned?

It's not possible or planned I'm afraid. I'd recommend either using a separate file in the same folder, or maybe encoding your saltpack string inside another data format that supports comments, like TOML. (Or of course just putting some text above the message, and then cutting those parts out when you decrypt.)
