git-core: Support retrieving passwords with GIT_ASKPASS
git tries to read a password from the terminal in imap-send and when talking to a http server that requires authentication. When a GUI is driving git, however, the end user is not paying attention to the terminal (there may not even be a terminal). GUI would appear to hang forever. Fix this problem by allowing a password-retrieving command to be specified in GIT_ASKPASS Signed-off-by: Frank Li <lznuaa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
