    Allow the tag signing key to be specified in the config file · d67778ec
    Andy Parkins 提交于
    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.
