As I indicated in my patch, this is not enough on Windows. In fact, my
first version of a patch tried to do exactly what you presented here, and
all it did was make the error message a bit more verbose:

-- snip --
error: gpg failed to sign the data:
[GNUPG:] USERID_HINT <key> Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
[GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE <key> <key2> 1 0
gpg: cannot open tty `no tty': No such file or directory

error: unable to sign the tag
-- snap --

This is not a fix for the issue reported on the Git for Windows, but only
half a fix.

Ciao,
Dscho
