I did this: $ git tag -s test-sign gpg: skipped "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>": secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available failed to sign the tag with GPG. The problem is that I have used the comment field in my key's UID definition. $ gpg --list-keys andy pub 1024D/4F712F6D 2003-08-14 uid Andy Parkins (Google) <andyparkins@gmail.com> So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>"; obviously it's not going to be found. There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository. Further I might have multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't match up with the address I use in commit messages. This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag signing key to be overridden. If the entry is not present, the fallback is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue untouched.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
