The scripts themselves having the same name that is no more specific
tha just "commit" does not bother _me_ personally too much.  If I
were doing it, unless you are an obsessive type that wants to see
spanking cleanness everywhere, I'd limit the changes to the minimum.

If something tested in script X is tested in another script Y and it
is trivial to see they are testing exactly the same thing, removing
one copy from script Y would be good, and if the remaining changes
in script Y becomes more focused with only such removals, that would
even be better, as at that point we can rename "tY-commit.sh" to
something more specific like "tY-commit-signature.sh".
