Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

iorsh-linux:~/devel/fontforge/build> git log -n 1 --oneline 2aa98f6a5 (HEAD -> master) Dummy signed commit iorsh-linux:~/devel/fontforge/build> git config log.showSignature true iorsh-linux:~/devel/fontforge/build> git log -n 1 --oneline 2aa98f6a5 (HEAD -> master) gpg: Signature made 17:47:50 2024 ינו 06 ש' IST gpg: using RSA key XXXXXXXXXX gpg: issuer "iorsh@users.sourceforge.net" gpg: Good signature from "Maxim Iorsh <iorsh@users.sourceforge.net>" [ultimate] Dummy signed commit

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

When asked for oneliner or any specific format, `git log` shouldn't show signature event when configured.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

`git log` always show signatures with log.showSignature enabled, even for explicit formatting requests.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Anything else you want to add:

This behavior obviously breaks any script which relies on git log to produce preformatted info about commits. It's also quite rare, becaus e probably very few users set log.showSignature config option.

Please review the rest of the bug report below. You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.
