identical files -> non-identical encrypted files

[Ian Zimmerman]

I just noticed this today.  I suppose this is completely obvious to most
readers of the list and perhaps not something they want to be bothered with;
apalogies if that's the case.  I have a problem to solve :(

itz at matica:~$ echo foo > foo
itz at matica:~$ gpg-encrypt.sh foo foo1.gpg
itz at matica:~$ gpg-encrypt.sh foo foo2.gpg
itz at matica:~$ ls -l foo*
-rw-r--r-- 1 itz itz   4 Jul 20 13:33 foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 itz itz 904 Jul 20 13:33 foo1.gpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 itz itz 904 Jul 20 13:33 foo2.gpg
itz at matica:~$ cmp foo1.gpg foo2.gpg 
foo1.gpg foo2.gpg differ: char 84, line 4
itz at matica:~$ cat mirror/bin/gpg-encrypt.sh 
#! /bin/sh

set -e

if [ $# != 2 ]; then 
    echo 'usage: gpg-encrypt.sh FILE DESTINATION' >&2
    exit 2
fi
file=$1
destination=$2

gpg --encrypt --recipient ABCD1234 --output $destination --armor --yes $file


So I suppose gpg puts some salt probably based on timestamp in.  Can this
be disabled?  Pretty please?
