All gnupg tests broken on el4 [Re: [ANNOUNCE] Git v2.3.0-rc2]

All signed commit tests fail on RHEL4 which is a regression from 2.2.2.

 From t4202.42:

++ git tag -s -m signed_tag_msg signed_tag gpg: key CDDE430D: secret key without public key - skipped gpg: skipped `C O Mitter <committer@example.com>': secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available error: gpg failed to sign the data error: unable to sign the tag error: last command exited with $?=128

There are indeed no public keys available after commit 1e3eef which 
seems to be contrary to the commit log:
----
    Instead import public and secret keys for one key pair from a text
    file that holds ASCII-armored export of them.
----

I extracted the pubkeys as ascii armored text from the old binary keyrings and added them to the new keyring.gpg and then the tests pass.

This is apparently only a problem for older gnupg versions (RHEL4 has gnupg 1.2.6) since it did not fail on RHEL5 (gnupg 1.4.5).
