Description
I've been doing ssh-add -K /path/to/key for this but it would be nice if git-node can just pipe to stdin (or at least display something more informative about this)

Research direction
Start at git-node's handling of git operations that prompt for an SSH-key passphrase, then reproduce the behavior described with ssh-add and a protected key. Determine whether the expected result is stdin piping, a more informative message, or both; done means the chosen behavior is clear and works for this case.
