Re: GnuPG 2.1 with Git, problem in zsh, not in ksh

[Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri <andreas.kahari@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for this!

Setting GPG_TTY=$( tty ) solved it for me!

GnuPG 2.1 doesn't use GPG_AGENT_INFO any longer, according to the
gpg2(1) manual.

I still don't know why it worked in ksh though... (but never mind).

Cheers,
Andreas
