This addresses the issue where Git for Windows asks the user for a
password, no credential helper is available, and then Git fails to pick
up non-ASCII characters from the Git GUI helper.
This can be verified e.g. via
echo host=http://abc.com |
git -c credential.helper= credential fill
and then pasting some umlauts.
The underlying reason is that Git for Windows tries to communicate using
the UTF-8 encoding no matter what the actual current code page is. So
let's indulge Git for Windows and do use that encoding.

With Tk 8.5 the askpass utility can hang waiting for the wish shell
implicit event loop to exit. This patch uses an explicit event loop
to ensure correct application termination.

OpenSSH allows specifying an external program to use
for direct user interaction. While most Linux systems
already have such programs, some environments, for
instance, msysgit, lack it. This patch adds a simple
fallback Tcl implementation of the tool.
In msysgit it is also necessary to set a fake value of
the DISPLAY variable, because otherwise ssh won't even
try to use SSH_ASKPASS handlers.
