The gpg works. But, git tag dose not work. Any idea?


gpg --detach-sign foo.bar
gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Gary Yang (For git.) <garyyang6@xxxxxxxxx>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID A3F6A45E, created 2008-11-14
Enter passphrase: 
[garyyang6@svdclc313 ~/git-repository]%


It successfully signed.
