While the assistant is synchronizing (to local USB backup disks or remote repositories) I am continually prompted for GPG passphrase when it is most definitely already in the gpg-agent.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Set up some remote gcrypt repositores using an existing GPG key, add some files, use the system, you are prompted for the passphrase far more often than the timeout of the passphrase in the agent (every few minutes). The number of times you are prompted also seems to increase linearly with the number of repositories - I am guessing they all exhibit the same need for the passphrase and all request at once, resulting in a string of 10+ pinentry popups.
I am wondering if there is something specific in my gpg setup that git annex isn't expecting. Always encrypt to self? Signing subkeys? Either way, standard tools manage to call gpg to encrypt/decrypt using gpg-agent and not prompting for the passphrase, so git annex should be able to as well.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Arch Linux, 5.20140831-g62e6ad8
### Please provide any additional information below.
I have read the various discussions about using -R or -r for the recipients, and I can see in the logs that -r is being used, but there is definitely something not working correctly. At the same time that git annex is making a gpg-agent request that results in a passphrase request, I can encrypt and decrypt whatever files I want manually with no prompting.
