So does all this mean that I now have to start using ssh-add/ssh-agent?
Does that actually buy me anything? I was under the impression that
ssh-agent was there to allow you to enter your passphrase once, and then
not have to do it again that session. I *don't* want to do that; when I'm
on-site, I *want* to be prompted for my password when I attempt to commit
changes to a file (and I work with multiple repositories).
Thanks...
