I'm accessing a Git repository over an HTTPS transport, where client
certificates are required. My certificate requires a password to use,
and Git prompts me for this every time I use it -- it's starting to
get a little old. I've got Subversion set up to use Gnome-Keyring for
credentials, so I only have to unlock that once per session. Is there
something similar for Git? Is it planned? If not, is there a good
place to make feature requests?

There is "credential helper" series:
* infrastructure and simple example implementations,
like in-memory cache by Jeff King
* credential helper for MacOS X keychain from Jay Soffian
* credential helper for KDE (KWallet) from Lukas Sandström
* simple credential helper for Windows by Erik Faye-Lund
In 'next' there is only sample implemetations (credentia-cache and
credential-store). Some of the rest you can find in 'pu', others only
on git mailing list.
Currently there are no credentials helper for GNOME. Perhaps you can
write one?
