If you _really_ have to ask me,...

I'd suspect people would feel it funny if the only advertised interface
were SSH_*, especially when they don't use OpenSSH at all and setting up
the prompter solely to use git over http.  If you use GIT_ASKPASS as the
advertised _primary_ interface to drive the prompter, while falling back
on SSH_ASKPASS as a mere end-user convenience measure, you wouldn't have
that problem.  Hence my suggestion.

But in the end it's up to you to decide.  I won't be writing this code
;-).
