The
repository is password protected so if I'm physically at Comp B, I get
a gui prompt for my username and password. However Comp A does not
have X Forwarding setup to Comp B so I can't get the gui interface for
the username and password when I try to do the push.  Is there an
alternative way to provide my credentials when doing a git push that
does not require a gui?

What protocol are you using to access the repository on Comp C?

I'm pulling and pushing over HTTP from Comp C.

Check to see if the GIT_ASKPASS and/or SSH_ASKPASS environment variables
are set, and if the core.askpass config variable is set.  If any of these
are set, unset them.  Git should fall back to a simple password prompt.
