I know that it doesn't work if you use smartcards. But that's always
been that way and won't break the compatibility. However, having a
dialog suddenly pop up every time a repo is accessed is a major
incompatibility.

I'm not sure though why someone would have two or more private
certificates matching the CA certificate on the server. Would that be a
buggy configuration? Or is it sometimes necessary to have more than one?
