Description
Added the following in my .extra
```
GIT_AUTHOR_SIGNINGKEY="keyid_goes_here"
GIT_COMMITTER_SIGNINGKEY="$GIT_AUTHOR_SIGNINGKEY"
git config --global user.signingkey="$GIT_AUTHOR_SIGNINGKEY"
```
However when I run `bootstrap.sh` I receive the following error:
`error: invalid key: user.signingkey=keyid_goes_here`
I hardcoded the value in to my gitconfig for the short-term and it works as expected.
`$ git log --show-signature`
```
gpg: Signature made Thu Jan 23 15:43:55 2014 CST using RSA key ID keyid_goes_here
gpg: Good signature from "..."
gpg: aka "..."
gpg: aka "..."
```

Research direction
Start by reading bootstrap.sh and the .extra configuration shown in the issue, then reproduce the invalid user.signingkey error with a real signing key. Confirm how the value is passed to Git configuration; done means bootstrap.sh completes without the error and git log --show-signature still reports a good signature.
