is there a reason to use name + email as keyid and not just the email address? that would also mitigate the need to specify user.sigingkey if only the names missmatch between gpg and git, but the email addresses are the same.That was my original solution, but it was rejected. http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0610/29733.html
oh well. I don't think this was discussed properly. The question for me is, what should be the default: fail if there is no matching key which also matches the comment field, or choose the default (sub)key even when a different subkey matches (based on the comment field). First of all, I think the default should be "try not to fail", so that is the second way. Additionally, people can specify a different keyid if they want to sign with a different key. Oh well, I don't really care about this. I just say that I'd expect it not to fail... cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
