This plugin isn't perfect, but it has the same problem my changes would
have had. It only works if 'bzr' has a valid stdin. Because 'find
.bzr/revision-store -type f | xargs bzr re-sign' still fails. (And I
found that I forgot to import bzrlib.errors).

But it still is a heck of a lot better for my use case. (I don't
typically pipe things into bzr commit, and re-sign is done very
infrequently).

But the plugin has a small update.

Oh, and if someone is trying to figure out the specific problem with
pinentry or with gpg, this is the error it gives:

gpg-agent[7471]: command get_passphrase failed: Operation cancelled
gpg-agent[7471]: DBG: map_to_assuan_status called with no error source

So if anything it is a bug in gpg-agent. It sounds like it fails because
it can't pass stdout to pinentry to handle printing errors.

But its good enough for me. (Especially now that I wrote sign-my-commits).
