-       Verify that the commits being merged have good and trusted GPG signatures
-       and abort the merge in case they do not.
+       Verify that the tip commit of the side branch being merged is
+       signed with a valid key, i.e. a key that has a valid uid: in the
+       default trust model, this means the signing key has been signed by
+       a trusted key.  If the tip commit of the side branch is not signed
+       with a valid key, the merge is aborted.
