gpg-interface does not use the shell to run gpg.program, so this won't
work.

$ git config gpg.program "echo --compat=gnupg"
$ git commit -m foo -S
error: cannot run echo --compat=gnupg: No such file or directory
error: gpg failed to sign the data:
(no gpg output)
fatal: failed to write commit object
