Damn annoying for git-gui to be invoking a new terminal window, but
maybe that's what we have to do.  Be nice though if the window only
was opened because we couldn't do "git ls-remote url" but its hard
to tell "hanging because SSH needs the user" and "hanging because
the network is a 2400 baud modem".

You can set BatchMode (ssh_config(5)) to at least prevent it from
hanging, can't you?

True, but this is OpenSSH specific, and has to be done on the
command line, which git-gui has no control over.

Maybe git fetch and push can check for a tty on fd 0 and enable
try to enable batch mode if fd 0 isn't a tty?
