you need to be able to use 'password-less' connection to your ssh server
that hosts the private trees. typically that means using a pair of SSH keys
(private/public).  if you are not familiar with that, i suggest you read
this first:

http://www.debian-administration.org/article/SSH_with_authentication_key_instead_of_password

with such a method SSH authentication can be done 'automatically' without
the need for prompting user's passwd.

if you actually decide to use passphrase for your SSH (private) key, you
might be able to setup SSH agent to do that, but you would need to do that
each time you log, iirc. But i am not familiar with this, to be honest. You
can read more about that here:
