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.
