Then this will be no worse than the current situation, which also uses
standard input to prompt for the password.  Note that a TTY is also
required if an HTTP password is requested.

No.  This may be nice, but it would be much more complicated to implement.

If you wish to use a client certificate without a password, then you
need the second patch in this series, which adds an option to disable
the password prompt.


Thanks for your input,
Mark
