Thanks for the suggestions, especially those involving the use of ssh-agent. You can see my implementation of it at https://github.com/swiftlinux/1-build/blob/master/get_reps_diet.sh . I now only have to enter my password ONCE in order to download all repositories, and I even set up the script to automatically delete the saved passwords at the end of the process.
