After sleeping on it, I think I fully understand what's going on. There
are actually _two_ bugs, but they are closely related. ;)
Here are patches which fix them both. I may be setting a new record for
the ratio of commit message lines to changed code. But it took me a
while to figure out what was going on, so I wanted to explain it fully.
[1/2]: ref-filter: fix parsing of signatures without blank lines
[2/2]: ref-filter: fix parsing of signatures with CRLF and no body
