In some workflows we have no control on how git command is executed, however a signed tags are required.

The new config-file option tag.gpgSign enforces signed tags. Additional command line option --no-gpg-sign is added to disable such behavior if needed. E.g.:

    $ git tag -m "commit message"
will generate a GPG signed tag if tag.gpgSign option is true, while
    $ git tag --no-gpg-sign -m "commit message"
will skip the signing step.
