This is looking much better. I have a few comments still, inline below.

By the way, did you want to add a format.signaturefile config, too? I do
not care myself, but I would imagine most workflows would end up
specifying it every time.

Technically "signature" might have come from config, not "--signature"
on the command-line.  But I don't know if that's even worth worrying
about; presumably the user can figure it out if they set the config.

Your cover letter mentioned generating an error here. Did you want:

  if (strbuf_read_file(&buf, signature_file, 128) < 0)
	die_errno("unable to read signature file '%s'", signature_file);

or similar?

Minor style nits, but we usually omit the whitespace between redirection
operations, and we always quote our here-doc endings unless they
explicitly want to interpolate. So:

  cat >expect <<\EOF

(we also tend to use "<<-\EOF" to drop leading tabs, and then include
them inside the test_expect_success properly indented, but as this
expectation is used in multiple places, it's not unreasonable to keep it
separate).

Both of these fgrep options are in POSIX, but it looks like this will be
the first use for either of them. I'm not sure if they will give us any
portability problems.

We could probably do something like:

  sed -n '/^-- $/,$p'

if we have to.

Please use test_cmp here, which adjusts automatically for less-abled
systems where diff is not available.

Same comments as above; I note that this is just checking "--foo=bar"
rather than "--foo bar". I don't mind being thorough, but for the most
part we just assume this is tested as part of the parse-options tests,
and don't check it explicitly for each option.

Please use test_must_fail instead of "!" here; it is more thorough in
checking that we exited with a non-zero error code (and didn't die from
signal death, for example).
