9 And looking into this, the issue is actually a lack of sanitation of the
10 --homedir parameter for gpg-agent, so "$HOME/.gnupg" and "$HOME/.gnupg/"
11 is treated as separate directories and as such two separate agents are
12 started... reported upstream... will be nice to get rid of _that_ annoyance.
