Nobody on the git IRC channel responded to this question, even after asking it a few times, so I thought I'd try here. I'm having trouble signing a tag. I'm using this command: git tag -u EAFD344D14EA086E -F .git/TAG_EDITMSG tag_name I type in my passphrase, and am then told: error: gpg failed to sign the tag error: unable to sign the tag However, if I use this command: gpg -s -u EAFD344D14EA086E and use the same passphrase, it works fine. Is there any way to find out why a key-signing is failing? This is git 1.6.5.2 and gpg 1.4.9 Thanks! j -- Joshua Kugler Part-Time System Admin/Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0x14EA086E
