git-annex lets borg do whatever passphrase prompting it needs,
and git-annex necessarily needs to run borg more than once, to scan all
archives that it has not scanned before for annexed content. Also,
getting files from a borg repository involves running borg once per file.
So using it with a repo with a passphrase will probably be
inconvenient, unless you use `BORG_PASSPHRASE` or `BORG_PASSCOMMAND`.
If there was a good way for git-annex to know if borg would need a
passphrase, it could prompt for it a single time and provide it to borg,
but I don't know if there's a good way to ask borg if a repository needs a
passphrase. The only half-decent way I can find is to try to do something
like `BORG_PASSPHRASE=wrong borg info` and see if it fails due to the wrong
passphrase, or works due to not needing a passphrase.
> Also, the syntax in the example on the tips page may not be entirely correct, AFAICT.
Please be more specific.
