SSH_KEY

DESCRIPTION

Path to the SSH private key corresponding to the public key registered for 
uploading on sourceware.
You'll need to set this if your private key isn't already loaded into a running 
ssh-agent(1), and it doesn't have one of the expected file names such as 
~/.ssh/id_rsa.
Also, setting this allows cygport to determine if a passphrase is needed to 
decrypt the key, and only prompt you for a passphrase if it's needed.
Otherwise, you'll be prompted for a passphrase every time you upload.

Instead of `ssh-agent` and `ssh-add`, you can use `keychain` in your login 
profile, which allows cross-session sharing, across X and terminal sessions, and 
logouts, for example:
	$ eval `/usr/bin/keychain --noask --eval ~/.ssh/id_rsa`
then
	$ keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa
