Don't ask passphrase many times

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.0.6
Severity: wishlist

When doing many things with the same key in the same "batch row",
GnuPG asks many time for the passphrase. It shouldn't. One time is
enough.

Example:

gpg --edit-key foo
revsig
(answer yes more than one time, signatures made with the same key)
(reason, description)
!gpg asks for the passphrase as many times as there are signatures to revoke!
