[Bug 1790851] [NEW] GPG_AGENT_INFO not being set in user session

[Michael Thayer]

Public bug reported:

For some time now I have noticed that Subversion fails to use the gpg
agent to store passwords in memory for the current session.  Someone on
the Subversion mailing list[1] suggested that it might be because the
GPG_AGENT_INFO variable is not being set in the environment, and pointed
me to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent.  I can confirm that when I source
that file the problem goes away.  Might this be due to my using a
Wayland, not an X11 session?  I see that there is a similar file for
systemd, but it does not seem to be doing the trick.
