Subject: [PATCH] Use email address only for looking up signing key in git-tag

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I did this:

  $ git tag -s adp-sign-tag
  gpg: skipped "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>": secret key not 
available
  gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
  failed to sign the tag with GPG.

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) <andyparkins@gmail.com>

So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>"; it's not
found.  The answer is (I think) to search only on the email address when
looking for a key.
