Note: works as expected in 18.10.  As no one else seems to be interested
I will close this.

Title:
  GPG_AGENT_INFO not being set in user session

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For some time now I have noticed that Subversion fails to use the gpg
  agent to store passwords in memory for the current session.  Someone
  on the Subversion mailing list[1] suggested that it might be because
  the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable is not being set in the environment, and
  pointed me to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent.  I can confirm that
  when I source that file the problem goes away.  Might this be due to
  my using a Wayland, not an X11 session?  I see that there is a similar
  file for systemd, but it does not seem to be doing the trick.
