I merely noticed that checking signatures when the message content is
sent through the standard input the "--command-fd 0" doesn't work. Gpg
doesn't wait for "GET_LINE tofu.conflict" input from stardard input; it
just proceeds and gives some "hang up" message. So I concluded that
"--command-fd 0" and GET_LINE just can't work together on epg.el. But
maybe I generalized too much. Maybe the problem is just in this
signature checking operation which goes like this:

    echo message_content | gpg --status-fd 1 --yes --command-fd 0
    --output output_file --verify -- signature_file -
