Hi Jeff - thanks for the code/tip, I tried using the branch, installed it,
and yet I'm still seeing the same problem: seems to hang, have to hit
CTRL-C, then belatedly see a password prompt.

Note that when I did,

git checkout execution

...per your instructions, I get an error:

error: pathspec 'execution' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?

Probably I'm doing something stupid, as I'm not a git user.


Per Jordi's suggestion (thank you Jordi), setting sudo to require NOPASSWD
results in the remote tail command working just fine.  So it is a password
related problem.
