Thanks for this series, it sounds like a great idea. I have a few
comments, inline below.

You probably want to call strbuf_detach() here, because...

... you need to free the memory returned by expand_user_path(). If you
detach the strbuf above, you can unconditionally
free(ssh_signing_key_file) at the end of this function.

I share Jonathan Tan's concern about checking for "usage:" in the stderr
output here. I think in patch 6 the tests rely on a specific return code
to check that "-Y sign" is working as expected; can that be used here
instead?
