Hello,

When git is asking for a password (for example for pushing over https)
it call the $GIT_ASKPASS script with only "Password: " as a an argument=
,
so when one have several remote, it might not know which one is asking
the password.=20

It would be interesting also to plug some sort of password-safe unto
git, or some "git-agent".=20
--=20
