We know that other codepath has been working even before this fix, but tests are not about showing off what we fixed, but are about making sure similar breakage won't be introduced by mistake in the future. Leaving it "for someone", when we know what the problem is and how to solve it, is asking for the "evantually" not materialize forever. > As the number of very similar test is slowly growing, do you think it is > worth copying (or making more generic) the test_rebase_gpg_sign for this > situation as well?

That is a tough question. Often, a generic test helper makes it too easy to do a full matrix of tests and encourages us to overdo it, which we probably would want to avoid. I think what I've suggested so far is a bare minimum combination for code coverage.
