MinGW folks may want to chime in as well. I am not sure about OSX because I just checked and there seems to be a DISPLAY variable set which seems to be used to start a X session on demand. But MinGW definitely has no DISPLAY variable set by default. Additionally GIT_ASKPASS/SSH_ASKPASS does not have to be a graphical tool does it? It could also be some program that looks up the password from some secure database.
