Ahh, OK, we are making sure that we "allow a blank line after the headers before an empty body". Makes sense (but see below). > +space=' ' > +cat >tag.sig <<EOF > +object $head > +type commit > +tag mytag > +tagger T A Gger <tagger@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1206478233 -0500$space > + > +EOF > + > +check_verify_failure 'extra whitespace at end of headers' \ > + '^error: char.*: malformed tag timezone$' OK. Presumably all the other header lines forbid trailing space as a malformed line? > +cat >tag.sig <<EOF > +object $head > +type commit > +tag mytag > +tagger T A Gger <tagger@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1206478233 -0500 > +EOF > + > +check_verify_failure 'disallow no header / body newline separator' \ > + '^error: char.*: trailing garbage in tag header$' Now I am confused. This fails because...? We earlier saw that we "allow" a blank line after the header when no body is present, but this says the test fails if a blank line exists after the header when no body exists. I do not have any objection to the behaviour of the command, but doesn't this mean the earlier test was not labelled correctly? It may make more sense to move this test next to the earlier one, and name them "require a blank line before even an empty body (1)" "require a blank line before even an empty body (2)" or something? The earlier one ensures that a payload with such a blank line is OK, and this one ensures that a payload without such a blank line causes a failure.
