I see. It seems in GPG2 that got expanded to: "For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted." I don't suppose it's worthwhile to support the others? I'm not sure how important the rest are. > ERRSIG comes with additional info (RC) that could be parsed for the reason. > > Also, in addition to that line, there can be other lines with additional > information.

That would be great. As long as %G? can tell between a signed but uncheckable commit and an unsigned commit, then it's good for me. > > Cheers, > Michael Thanks, Alex
