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.

Hmm, yeah that is likely the problem. I was thinking git would fall back
to asking on the terminal, but it does not. We probably should.

We should probably do this:

  [1/2]: prompt: clean up strbuf usage
  [2/2]: prompt: fall back to terminal if askpass fails
