Sorry, you lost me here.  Does "ssh example.com" consult the terminal
first and then fall back to SSH_ASKPASS environment variable?

I was under the impression that SSH_ASKPASS was to either give hands-free
access to the keychain or give GUI experience so that people do not have
to type from their terminals...

  # this will try SSH_ASKPASS first, then the terminal, because git is
  # doing the asking
  git push https://example.com/repo.git

So now I'm more convinced than ever that the order should be
GIT_ASKPASS, terminal, SSH_ASKPASS.
