+Had a closer look at this, and I'm stumped. The ssh.exe from msysgit seems
+to be built with `SSH_ASKPASS` support, based on strings. But, I cannot seem
+to get it to use it.
+
+OTOH, the ssh from cygwin did support this. Just had other problems so it's
+not being used any longer.
+
+At a guess, from reading ssh's code, I might need to find a way to defeat
+ssh's isatty check on windows.
+
+<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10960269/git-ssh-askpass-on-windows>
+hints that there might be a way to start the process "with CreateProcess()
+dwCreationFlags DETACHED_PROCESS" to make it work.
