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.
