[PATCH] Make git tag -s friendly to keys with comments

[PATCH] Make git tag -s friendly to keys with comments

[Petr Baudis]

git tag -s has very unfriendly default method of picking key ids;
it is documented in git-tag(1) as just the e-mail, but in fact
it is "Real Name <email>". This will never pick the right default
if the key was created with a comment in the name, like:

	Petr Baudis (Sirius Labs) <pasky@ucw.cz>
	Petr Baudis (SuSE Labs) <pasky@suse.cz>

This patch makes git tag -s default to just the e-mail address,
as documented.
