I was just assuming it handles only (2) without checking further, so I
may be wrong. But I do not think it makes sense to conflate (2) and (3).
A merge commit may have both, and they are separate signatures.
For that matter, is there a way to expose (3) currently, besides via
--show-signature? It does not trigger "%GG" and friends (nor should it).
It may make sense to add extra format specifiers for mergetag
signatures. Though I do not use them myself, so I am not clear on what
the use case is besides a manual, human verification of a particular
merge.
