bzr+ssh using persistent SSH connections?

[Nicholas Allen]

Aha I worked it out! Actually this is even easier than using ssh-agent to 
prevent password and also speeds up authentication. All you need is this in 
~/.ssh/config:

Host *
   ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p

and then ssh to the machine with -M option and keep that ssh session open:

ssh -M user at host.com

Then Bazaar will reuse the authentication (and hence not need password) while 
you have not exited the master session.

I guess this should go on the wiki somewhere...

Cheers,

Nick
