Most of the tests, unlike "git show --show-signature" tests, do not
seem to check the output from the command.  Is it because its
primary interface to scripts is its exit status [*1*]?

[Footnote]

*1* "Yes" is totally an acceptable answer and a justification for
not checking the output in many of these tests.
