We ensure that a `rad/root` ref is included in the signed refs file under `rad/sigrefs` for all remotes. This prevents a certain kind of "grafting" attack where signed refs can be copied between repositories, by having the peer sign over the identity root together with the data refs. When verifying signed refs, we ensure that the ref is present and points to an identity branch root that matches the repository identity containing the signed refs. Alternatives: lots of alternatives were considered, but this one doesn't introduce any changes to the signing. The `rad/id/root` name was considered but is invalid due to `rad/id`.

If we have fetched a project, then we do not have a fork of the
repository in the storage, i.e. there is no ref hierarchy for our
NID. This is demonstrated below where our NID is
z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk:
$ rad inspect rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji --refs
z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
└── refs
├── cobs
│ └── xyz.radicle.id
│ └── [...]
├── heads
│ └── master
└── rad
├── id
├── root
└── sigrefs
To remedy this, we can use the rad fork command for the project we
wish to fork:
$ rad fork rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
✓ Forked repository rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji for z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk
Now, if we rad inspect the project's refs again we will see that we
have a copy of the main set of refs:
$ rad inspect rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji --refs
z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
└── refs
├── cobs
│ └── xyz.radicle.id
│ └── [...]
├── heads
│ └── master
└── rad
├── id
├── root
└── sigrefs
z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk
└── refs
├── heads
│ └── master
└── rad
├── root
└── sigrefs
We are now able to setup a remote in our own working copy of the project and push to our own fork.
