I don't know the whole picture about --pinentry-mode, only that I use
it sometimes since my gpg is 2.1 -- but is it the man page that needs to
be modified to match the code, or the code that needs to match the man
page ("duplicity passes the option --pinentry-mode=cancel to the the
gpg process unless --use-agent is specified on the duplicity command
line") ?
When we want to *use gpg-agent*, isn't it a mistake to insert
--pinentry-mode=loopback ? The code in version 0.7.11 had if/elif
in this region where the new code has two if-blocks.
