I'm currently digging and according to "mtn --debug" outputs it looks
like Monotone on "commit" doesn't contact the SSH-agent initially at
all. My first impression was that perhaps the communication protocol
itself got broken. But this doesn't seem to be the problem. Monotone
just starts fiddling with the SSH-agent once one has entered the
pass-phrase (and this way very late). So, for me it looks like in
Monotone 0.40 we have any change with now prevents the SSH-agent from
being correctly consulted on "commit" at all...
