Dear git mailing list,
Dear Mike Gerwitz,

according to http://mikegerwitz.com/papers/git-horror-story#script-trust
the output of:

git log --pretty="format:%H$t%aN$t%s$t%G?" --show-signature

should look like this:

-----

But when I run that command, spaces are missing. (Using a user that does
not know my gpg public key for testing purposes.) See output:

Any idea? Am I doing something wrong?

I am asking, because therefore Mike Gerwitz's Quote "Signature Check
Script With Web Of Trust" verification script (
http://mikegerwitz.com/papers/git-horror-story#script-trust ) does not
work for me.

Mike, could you please put your various git commit verification helper
scripts into a publicly visible?

By the way, any chance that these useful helper scripts could make their
way into the official distribution of git as a stopgap until native git
commit verification support gets improved?

Cheers,
Patrick
