Hmph, I regret asking what is "complete", i.e. as opposed to what.
The above makes it even unclear if things like "signature on commit"
is part of the complete message. I _think_ you meant the part after
stripping the object header, so "signature in a signed tag is part
of 'complete message', while signature in a signed commit is not",
which feels somewhat strange.
But then, it may be easier to understand if we said
The message in a commit or a tag object is `contents`, from
which `contents:<part>` can be used to extract various parts out
of.
without introducing "complete".
In any case I think patches 1 & 2 are definite improvement.
Thanks.
