Can you explain why? I don't see why you should be creating/deleting
keys so often.

I think it would make sense to store the --keydir value in
_MTN/options, so the default keydir is per-workspace.

Or perhaps it should be a database variable, so the default keydir is
per-database.

Would either of those options solve your problem? Either would be easy
to implement, and backward-compatible.

Actually, it would not be hard to implement both, with the priority:

--keydir option
_MTN/options value
database variable
