Hi, I use git-repo which makes use of Git for Windows and also uses the gpg tool bundled in Git for Windows.
I am able to run the git-repo with Git-2.18.0-64-bit.exe, but recently I updated the Git to new release of Git for Windows 2.19.1 and that does not work with git-repo tool. I found that basic issue is not with Git, but with gpg bundled with latest Git version.
I have tested both version for below 4 cases and here are the test results in below table:
Case Test Description Result For Git-2.18.0-64-bit.exe Result For Git-2.19.1-64-bit.exe CASE1: gpg import with default GNUPG Home [Result: SUCCESS for both versions] CASE2: gpg import with setting environment variable for GNUPGHOME and path provided in git style [Result: SUCCESS for both versions] CASE3: gpg import with setting environment variable for GNUPGHOME and path provided in windows style single slash \ is escaped by providing double slash \\ [Result: SUCCESS for 2.18.0 but FAILED for 2.19.1] CASE4: gpg import with setting environment variable for GNUPGHOME and path provided in windows style with single slash \ replaced with forward slash / [Result: SUCCESS for 2.18.0 but FAILED for 2.19.1]
I know the gpg version is changed in 2.19 release. But somehow the Git-Repo tool, which I am using, creates GNUPGHOME path as per CASE3 above. So right now I am able to use the tool with older version of Git. It may be issue in future to not upgrade Git. Please see if this makes any sense to fix this thing in gpg.
Here is the output with CASE3 (complete logs attached with the mail) ============================================================================================================== === CASE3: NOT Working with setting environment variable for GNUPGHOME and path provided in windows style ==== === IT LOOKS Like concatenate the current working directory to the value of GNUPGHOME ======================== ============================================================================================================== hsingh@HSINGH-LT MINGW64 /c/gpgTesting $ export GNUPGHOME=C:\\gpgTesting\\.gnupg
