Now I understand.

Below is one of the updated test cases.

test_expect_success 'format-patch --signature-file=mail-signature' '
	cat >mail-signature <<-\EOF

	Test User <test.email@kernel.org>
	http://git.kernel.org/cgit/git/git.git

	git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=summary

	EOF
	git format-patch --stdout --signature-file=mail-signature -1 >output &&
	check_patch output &&
	sed -n -e "/^-- $/,\$p" <output | sed -e "1d" | sed -e "\$d" >output2 &&
	test_cmp mail-signature output2
'
