[pass] Multiple password contexts

[Kenny Evitt]

Here's my hack solution:

I have a script, somewhere in my path, and I've named it
*pass-switch-repo.bash*. Here's its contents:

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script needs to be sourced to affect the user's environment.

repo_name=$1

if [[ -z "$repo_name" ]]; then
    echo "Error: No repo name was specified."
    return 1
fi

repo_path="$HOME/.password-store/$repo_name"

if [[ ! -d "$repo_path" ]]; then
    echo "Error: No Pass sub-directory with the name '$repo_name' exists."
    return 1
fi

export PASSWORD_STORE_GIT="$repo_path"
export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR="$repo_path"

echo "Switched to repo '$repo_name'!"
```

Because it's modifying environment variables, you have to source it, e.g.:

`. pass-switch-repo.bash name-of-a-pass-context`

Bash and Git completion work just as with a regular Pass password store
("repo" per my script).

The script assumes you've organized your 'contexts' as sub-directories of
the default password store directory.
