I am a TortoiseCVS/SVN user... and I always thought it was annoying that I had hardcoded the "-i path/to/ssh/key.ppk" in the CVS preferences. I always wanted Tortoise to be able to save a key linked to a CVSROOT.
Anyway, I was shown pageant.exe from Putty. Tortoise will automatically look there for the key if you don't have a -i in the extra parameters.
It is a little annoying that pageant doesn't remember your keys, so you have to do something to work around this.
I created a shortcut in my Startup folder which points to:
pageant.exe /path/to/SSHKeys/first.ppk /path/to/SSHKeys/second.ppk ...
Not perfect, but does the trick. Anything better out there?
