df062010 (filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed) introduced a regression when filtering gpg signed commits. The gpgsig header is multi-line and contains an empty line. Although the signature is indented, making the line a whitespace only line, this still results in $header_line being empty, causing the “skip header lines” loop to exit. The rest of the commit object is then re-used as the rewritten commit message, causing the new message to include the signature of the original commit.
I had to wrap my head around that commit message quite a bit and ended up testing the issue myself. So the catch is: df062010 (filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed) introduced a regression when filtering gpg signed commits. As a consequence, "filter-branch --msg-filter cat" (which should leave the commit message unchanged) spills the signature (without the BEGIN line, but with the END line) into (in front of) the original commit message. The reason is that although... ... original commit. Fix this by keeping track of the in/out-of signature state when parsing the header lines. [No, this does not alleviate my dislike for the commit signature implementation, and I have not checked the patch - the test looks good to me, though.]
