Bug description:
  Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/673484:

  Without any modification in my configuration, Bzr is now rejecting my
  signatures to commits:

      $ bzr sign-my-commits
      gwolf at debian.org-20120518225242-3r185pl8dxrvqowf
      gpg: Sorry, no terminal at all requested - can't get input
      bzr: ERROR: Failed to GPG sign data with command "[u'gpg', '--clearsign', '-u', u'gwolf at debian.org', '--no-tty']"

  This bug was introduced in 2.5.1 and later snapshots of bzr 2.6. 2.5.1
  was SRU'ed into precise.

  [Impact]
  This affects users of the 2.5.1 SRU who sign commits on the command-line without a GPG agent. The proposed fix reverts the use of --no-tty which will reintroduce bug 847388, which was also present long before 2.5.1.

  [Test Case]
  Install bzr and gpg. Make sure there is no active GPG agent ("unset GPG_AGENT_INFO") and try to sign a few commits ("bzr sign-my-commits"). This should succeed, and prompt for a GPG password on the terminal.

  [Regression Potential]
  This is a revert of a problematic change in a SRU. We'll definitely reintroduce bug 847388, but that is a bug that has been present for a long time and only affects a really limited amount of users.
