Of course, from _our_ point of view, that somebody is not us.  We do
not have direct control, certainly from this codepath.

Right, but in theory we can provoke gpg to do what we want when we spawn
it. However, having had zero luck in convincing it to stop asking me for
a passphrase recently in another thread, I do not know what magic
command line option is required. :(

I think it would be OK to merge the git handling of GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT
(i.e., the patch I sent), and somebody who runs into the issue with gpg
and can figure out how to tame it can scratch their own itch later. I
hate leaving things half-implemented or inconsistent, but I also don't
know how to make gpg do what we want. And doing a partial solution
seems better to me than holding the credential.c half hostage.

Oh, no question about that.  You are making things better by
advancing one step at a time.

Queued and will be moving to 'next' shortly.
