Unfortunately, yes, so you'd need a passphraseless key set up
specifically for systems which need Git access. Not a great solution,
though on the other hand that setup isn't uncommon either (given the
various situations where interactivity won't ever be possible/wanted,
e.g. CI servers, cron jobs, etc).

I'm still plugging away at the interactivity issue; if I'm lucky and
it looks like I can set up something fully backwards compatible*, I'll
probably merge something into master soon (if not release an actual
1.0, though that will also be relatively soon).

Best,
Jeff


* The default user-level behavior should be the same, but the
underlying mechanism will change significantly to allow the optional
interactivity, so there's lots of chances for edge-case bugs to crop
up.
