Yes, actually I use quintuple-agent or whatever it's called -- but things go
very badly if you type the wrong pass-phrase to it, it doesn't even ask a
second time (despite its convenience, q-agent seems to be pretty much a
quick-n-grody hack)!
Also, I often commit stuff while ssh'd to another host, and running q-agent
on a less-trusted central server makes me a bit nervous (hmmm, anyone know if
q-agent has kind of mode for operating from within an ssh session?).
