Unfortunately when running the test, that message is found in the

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.
I like Brian's wording, but how about this slight variation, does this
parse any better for you?
