What feature are you asking for? It seems to me it doesn't need a
feature,
doesn't need explicit support. You write a copy of the key to the
same directory
as where you store the encrypted files. You write a script that
fetches the
private key from there into GnuPG's secret keyring. GnuPG never needs
to know ;).
Oh, yes that really covers what I wrote... What I actually meant to
write was: couldn't gpg embed the private key into the gpg'd file, like
as a part of the header? That way, no matter what happens to my gpg'd
file in terms of moving around or whatever, the private key is with it
(I personally wouldn't mind some extra bytes with each file). On
decryption, gpg would find the private key in the header and just ask me
for its passphrase like it does with symmetric encryption.
Maybe this isn't such a common use case, but I think for me it would
perfectly make sense;)
