Don't think that would work. If I was worried about trust the worry
would be at the remote end not locally. So remotely I'd either have to
let root have ssh access which would leave me with a repo only
accessed by root or I'd have to use a non-root user which keeps ssh
secure but then leaves the repo owned by someone other than root.
