This fix is obviously fine. But I'm a unsure if this is the only place where 
we would need to account for windows line endings. There are at least two 
similar uses in gpg-interface.c. parse_ssh_output() might include a trailing 
\r in the fingerprint. So I think we should do the same thing here:

diff --git a/gpg-interface.c b/gpg-interface.c
index 330cfc5845..92cd0f0ebd 100644
--- a/gpg-interface.c
+++ b/gpg-interface.c

  	sigc->trust_level = TRUST_NEVER;
  
-	line = to_free = xmemdupz(sigc->output, strcspn(sigc->output, "\n"));
+	line = to_free = xmemdupz(sigc->output, strcspn(sigc->output, "\r\n"));
  
  	if (skip_prefix(line, "Good \"git\" signature for ", &line)) {
  		/* Search for the last "with" to get the full principal */

get_default_ssh_signing_key() also splits the defaultKeyCommand output by \n 
but only puts the result into a file for ssh to use which should be able to 
deal with it.

However the whole parse_gpg_output() also assumes "\n" everywhere. So either 
GPG behaves differently under windows than ssh or a similar bug could be in 
there (and if, then probably is for a long time).
I'm not familiar with the windows details (like what MSYS2 is / whats 
different here) and don't really have the means to test it.
