Found a recipe, with the SSH method:
1. create an ~/.authinfo.gpg file with the EasyPG assistant[1]
2. pkill -HUP gpg-agent
2. emacs -Q
3. (progn
(setq epg-pinentry-mode 'loopback)
(icomplete-mode))
5. C-x C-f /ssh:
This brings up epa.el's "Passphrase for symmetric encryption" prompt to
unlock ~/.authinfo.gpg. The prompt cannot be completed, because any
self-inserting character brings the "Find file" prompt back up, and from
*there*, typing any character brings the "Passphrase for symmetric
encryption" prompt back again.
I don't mind icomplete proactively trying to open authinfo.gpg to
find candidates for hostnames[2]; unfortunately as things stand I have
to hit C-g a bunch, disable icomplete, do whatever I was trying to do,
then enable icomplete back.
[1] I.e. visit ~/.authinfo.gpg, and save it with a password when
prompted. The content doesn't matter, but it has to be properly
encrypted, otherwise GPG will recognize the file is malformed and
abort before EPA can prompt for a password.
[2] Or a TAGS file to find candidates for identifiers, as seen in the
initial report.
