Hi everyone, there is an interesting wart around prompt.c - PROMPT_ECHO isn't used in invoking an external helper program. Thus, if I clone something on https (which requires auth for that), and have SSH_ASKPASS set, I will get two GUI *password* prompts, even though the first one will indicate in the title that it *is* asking for the username. But basically, given the trivial protocol of SSH_ASKPASS, there doesn't seem to be any way to properly fix this without support from any desktop environment that sets SSH_ASKPASS. :-( The best I can currently tell my users is to use the [credentials "https:/..."] configuration to fix the username. But if we can't fix this, maybe we can at least point this out in the docs? - Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."
