After writing this email, I got an idea on how it could work:
git-rebase script calls some C helper, which outputs above, and
output of this helper is eval'ed by script (with gpg_sign_opt_quoted
variable present in the environment)...

... but it might have been simply copy'n'pasted from shell script
to C, literally.

Shouldn't, as l10ners need to deal with arg reordering, because in different
languages the order of words might be different: %s %s in English may be
%2$s %1$s in other language, see example in
