Ah, you're right. Thanks for catching it.

If you wanted to know whether it was set, I guess you'd have to compare
it to the default, like:

  if (signature_file) {
	if (signature && signature != git_version_string)
		die("you cannot specify both a signature and a signature-file");
	... read signature file ...
  }

though it's a bit ugly that this code has to know what the default is.
Having signature-file take precedence is OK with me, but it feels
somewhat arbitrary to me from the user's perspective.
