or he could keep the file globbing and write his command like this:

tar -cf - -- *.md | pgp  -cf > data.pgp

The double dash specifies the end of command line flags.

Of course, the dash at the beginning of the filename seems a bit ugly to me. 
Maybe a tilde could be used rather than a dash?  That's sort of a defacto-ish
"standard" (not really, but it's used more than any other character).
