This might be due to the `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable pointing to a
Unix-style path, but your SSH not being Unix-path-aware.

Can you verify that your `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable is set to
`/mingw64/bin/git-askpass.exe`? If so, can you set it to `/c/Program
Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-askpass.exe` instead and try again?

Ciao,
