  I think this can help much in plugins like multi-pull, since currently it opens a new connection for each branch and asks you the password one time per branch even if they are in the same server.
  However, I don't know how this could be switched on automatically, or whether this behaviour can be included in Bazaar's core to handle this and other situations where you must connect more than one time to a server.
