[pass] Short PGP IDs in pass

[Niklas Hambüchen]

Yes, I found that pass works just as well with long IDs.

My question is rather, what happens when I have conflicting IDs in my
keyring?

Will gpg and/or pass complain and prompt me about it, or will it encrypt
for both, or potentially choose the "wrong" one?

Thanks!
