+On a shared workstation / server, I have the following directories:
+
+```
+~thing1/Projects/BerkeleyX
+~thing2/BerkeleyX
+```
+
+`git annex list` works fine as `thing1` from the repo in `~thing2`. But the reverse demands the password for the SSH key coming from `~thing2` as `thing2`.
+
+More specifically the following "Just Works (tm)":
+
+```
+sudo su dav
+cd ~/Projects/BerkeleyX
+git annex list
+```
+
+but the following asks for an SSH key password, and then doesn't work.
+
+```
+sudo su dillon
+cd ~/BerkeleyX
+git annex list
+```
