I believe 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) So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins "; it's not found. The answer is (I think) to search only on the email address when looking for a key. I've simply changed git-tag to have username=$(git-repo-config user.email) However, this is clearly wrong as what it actually wants is the committer email. Am I safe to simply process the $tagger variable to extract it? Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE andyparkins@gmail.com
