I did this:
$ git tag -s test-sign
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.
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>";
obviously it's not going to be found.
There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in
my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in
my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository. Further I might have
multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't
match up with the address I use in commit messages.
This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if
present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag
signing key to be overridden. If the entry is not present, the fallback
is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue
untouched.

This makes git-fetch over git native protocol to automatically
decide to keep the downloaded pack if the fetch results in more
than 100 objects, just like receive-pack invoked by git-push
does. This logic is disabled when --keep is explicitly given
from the command line, so that a very small clone still keeps
the downloaded pack as before.
The 100 threshold can be adjusted with fetch.unpacklimit
configuration. We might want to introduce transfer.unpacklimit

I first saved them with "format-patch -4", and then did a reset

used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at
@{6} (so @{6} and @{7} has the same parent). I did not like the
log message, so I amended again at @{5}.
Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message
shows that it needs to learn to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION -- it uses
"git-commit" and the log entry is attributed for it). Another
cherry-pick built @{2} out of @{9}, but what I wanted to do was
to squash these two into one, so I did a "reset HEAD^" at @{1}
and then made the final commit by amending what was at the top.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably
sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify
a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the
revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the
best tag to describe the input commit.
All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision
which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during
the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to
each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us
to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited
space available within the flags field of struct commit.
The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a
problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance
releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the
development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that
does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of
using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development
trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested
workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip.
However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a
description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but
offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible
matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose
10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more
than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before
retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the
same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe.
A large amount of debugging information was also added during
the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled
on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them
understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another.

The goals are:
- Readable from beginning to end in order without having read
any other git documentation beforehand.
- Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too
hard to skip around some if you need to.
- Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the
tutorials)
It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on
practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge
conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a
public repository.
I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the
discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's
OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this
if any parts seem more useful than the whole.)
There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just
because those are essential even to people needing read-only access
(e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter
once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are
taken into account.
I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we
need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and
I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

If a branch other than "master" is checked out in the origin repository,
git-clone makes a local copy of that branch rather than the origin's
"master"
branch. This patch describes the actual behavior.

If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit
a larger amount of virtual address space to pack file access.
So on these platforms we should increase the default settings of
core.packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} to something that will better
handle very large projects.
Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for pointing out that we can safely
increase these defaults on such systems.

- Teach how to delete a branch with "git branch -d name".
- Usually a commit has one parent; merge has more.
- Teach "git show" instead of "git cat-file -p".

Added color.branch and color.branch.<slot> to configuration list.
Style copied from color.status and meanings derived from the code.
Moved the color meanings from color.diff.<slot> to color.branch.<slot>
since the latter comes first alphabetically.
Added --color and --no-color to git-branch's usage and documentation.

"Use it with care" is a wrong wording to say "this is purely internal
and you are supposed to know what you are doing if you use this".

Update examples, stop using branch named "origin" as an example.
Remove large example of use of remotes; that particular case is
nicely automated by default, so it's not so pressing to explain, and
we can refer to git-repo-config for the details.

Update glossary entry for "origin" to reflect fact that it normally now refers
to a remote repository, not a branch.
Also, warning not to work on remote-tracking branches is no longer necessary
since git doesn't allow that.

I couldn't think of a really quick way to give all the details, so just refer
readers to the git-repo-config man page instead.
I haven't tested recent cvs import behavior--some time presumably it should be
updated to do something more similar to clone.

* master:
Documentation/config.txt (and repo-config manpage): mark-up fix.
Teach Git how to parse standard power of 2 suffixes.
Use /dev/null for update hook stdin.
Redirect update hook stdout to stderr.
Remove unnecessary argc parameter from run_command_v.
Automatically detect a bare git repository.
Replace "GIT_DIR" with GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT.
Use PATH_MAX constant for --bare.
Force core.filemode to false on Cygwin.
Fix formatting for urls section of fetch, pull, and push manpages
Fix yet another subtle xdl_merge() bug
i18n: drop "encoding" header in the output after re-coding.
commit-tree: cope with different ways "utf-8" can be spelled.
Move commit reencoding parameter parsing to revision.c
Documentation: minor rewording for git-log and git-show pages.
Documentation: i18n commit log message notes.
t3900: test log --encoding=none
commit re-encoding: fix confusion between no and default conversion.
Sometimes its necessary to supply a value as a power of two in a
configuration parameter. In this case the user may want to use the
standard suffixes such as K, M, or G to indicate that the numerical
value should be multiplied by a constant base before being used.
Shell scripts/etc. can also benefit from this automatic option
parsing with `git repo-config --int`.
