Describe the issue
When SSH is used as transport, the
ssh
program is usingSSH_ASKPASS
to get the password to unlock a private key if it is set.The programs typically in use there, if they are UI-based, may also auto-fill the password without bothering the user.
While we unconditionally override it this workflow is disturbed.
How to reproduce
No response
Expected behavior
When
SSH_ASKPASS
is set, the programs the user decided on should still be respected. However, this might not always work as it should if these programs expect a terminal environment, so solving this may be more involved.Relevant log output
