[pass] "pass edit" and multiple passphrase prompts

I am using pass under OSX without gpg-agent [^1]

Something I've noticed:

- "pass edit foo/bar" when it creates a new file, doesn't ask for your 
passphrase

- "pass edit foo/bar" when editing an existing file asks for your 
passphrase both before *and* after editing

I thought this meant that it was signing it in the second case - however 
the file doesn't appear to be signed. Does anyone else see this?

Regards,

Brian.
