[pass] Pass hanging on decrypt

[Daniel Seymour]

SO I just realized that I actually didn't include the whole mailing list in
my problem as I should have.  James Cameron was very helpful in helping me
troubleshoot.  The problem with my system happened to be that the gpg
binary that pass was attempting to use was GPG 1.  I edited the pass bash
script to point to gpg2 and everything started working.

Can a check be implemented to check to make sure that the gpg version pass
uses is GPG2 and not GPG?
