There is bug using "git log --show-signature" in my installation git 2.16.2.windows.1 gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4 libgcrypt 1.8.2
that prints (with colors) an extra ^M (carriage return?) at the end of the gpg lines. As an example, the output of "git log --show-signature HEAD" looks like: $ git log --show-signature HEAD commit 46c490188ebd216f20c454ee61108e51b481844e (HEAD -> master) gpg: Signature made 03/04/18 16:53:06 ora solare Europa occidentale^M gpg: using RSA key ...^M gpg: Good signature from "..." [ultimate]^M Author: ... <...> Date: Sun Mar 4 16:53:06 2018 +0100 ... To help find a fix, I tested the command "git verify-commit HEAD" that prints (without colors) the same lines without extra ^M characters. $ git verify-commit HEAD gpg: Signature made 03/04/18 16:53:06 ora solare Europa occidentale gpg: using RSA key ... gpg: Good signature from "..."
