Both paragraphs read very sensibly.

Hmmm... does the second line of this message start with the usual "warning:" prefix?

This almost makes me wonder if we want something similar to strchrnul() we use for NUL-terminated strings, and I suspect that you would find more instances by running "git grep -A2 memchr".

I don't know what such a helper function should be named, though. Certainly not "memchrnul()".

If there are two instances of gpg_sig, this will remove only the last one, but there is no chance both signatures of such a commit can validate OK, and we won't be losing something in between anyway, so it should be fine.
