Unfortunately when running the test, that message is found in the standard output of git show -s --show-signature, but in the standard error of git verify-commit -v causing the comparisons of both standard output and standard error to fail.That doesn't help me parse it any better. It's the "but" without a corresponding "not" which seems to be throwing me off. Typically, one would write "this but not that" or "not this but that". I can't tell if there is a "not" missing or if the "but" is supposed to be an "and" or if something else was intended.
The intended meaning is "and" with the additional sense of contrast. The sentence, if read with verbal emphasis, is, "…is found in the standard *output* of git show -s --signature, but in the standard *error* of git verify-commit -v", thus demonstrating why the test fails: the pairs of output files don't match up.
Maybe you can suggest a less confusing wording. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
