Mr. Morgan, thank you very much for the response.
Yes, I think I see how that could help. I could start up an ssh
control master in another window that connects to the CVS/SVN
repository before I start a client.
I have a question about the "ask" setting for ControlMaster. The
manpage says:
Setting this to ``ask'' will cause ssh to listen for control
connections, but require confirmation using the SSH_ASKPASS program
before they are accepted (see ssh-add(1) for details).
I tried this, and ssh did indeed invoke my SSH_ASKPASS, but I wasn't
sure what the correct response was. I tried my password for the remote
host and password for my local host. Neither worked. Then I noticed
that it was prompting "Allow shared connection to [hostname_here]?", so
I tried answering "y" and "yes", but neither of those worked, either.
What kind of answer is it expecting?
