I am curious, if this is key-based authorization, why does it prompt for a password? Is this the pass phrase used to decrypt the locally stored private key? If so, a workaround would likely be to not have your private key encrypted -- for machines where you are the (only) system administrator, this should be safe.
That's the case, alright, and I suppose I could remove the password from the local key, for this one machine, but securing keys (especially ones that provide access to critical resources like my source repository) strikes me as a good idea, and one that should be supported.
I'll look into the expect scripting, to see if I can provide the password there.

I use KeyChain 2.6.2; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/
Works great, kinda like the Mac OS X keychain. Just put in your password once after reboot and you're gold. Might want to have some script close the chain on sleep or something though if it's on a laptop.
