Yes, I also like this model a lot - to my mind the only good options are 
using ssh-agent or replacing it.  Both have their advantages.  It's my 
belief that a more capable replacement for ssh-agent is desperately 
needed, but I'm trying not to foist mission creep onto Monotone where I 
can help it - I worry about those ninjas :-)
