You could supply the password through the PASSPHRASE environment
variable.

Yes, true. The problem is that right now the only record of old files
in the archive is in the archive itself, so getting a list of files at
a certain time involves downloading everything. I suppose some sort
of digest file could be written for each session, but that would take
up space, and listing the versions of a single file would still
require downloading many of these digests. I'll have to decide
sometime what the right way to handle this is.

Yep, probably the best would be if the include/exclude options worked
when restoring. (I assume they don't know, but I actually don't know
for sure.

Ok, thanks, I altered your patch slightly and applied it to CVS.
