Hi Nils, I just checked and I have commits made in 2.9 with this option set and I don't seem to have your issue. Here's what I did: santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/santiago/test-signing/.git/ santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ hub create Updating origin Enter passphrase for key '/home/santiago/.ssh/id_rsa': created repository: SantiagoTorres/test-signing santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ touch testfile santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ git add testfile santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ git commit i[master (root-commit) 6de1ad2] TEST: tests git autocommit setting 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 testfile santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ git log --show-signature commit 6de1ad20237f042433f8b94a3bf8c7cc41711d90 (HEAD -> refs/heads/master) gpg: Signature made Mon 11 Jul 2016 10:40:41 AM EDT using RSA key ID 468F122CE8162295 gpg: Good signature from "Santiago Torres <torresariass@xxxxxxxxx>" [ultimate] gpg: aka "Santiago Torres-Arias <santiago@xxxxxxx>" [ultimate] Author: Santiago Torres <torresariass@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 11 10:40:32 2016 -0400 TEST: tests git autocommit setting santiago at ~/test-signing ✔ git push origin master Enter passphrase for key '/home/santiago/.ssh/id_rsa': Counting objects: 3, done.

I wonder if this issue is similar to what happened in mutt, where gpg doesn't show the password prompt using gpg-agent and it silently failed. Thanks, -Santiago.
