I thought that the conclusion was to follow how openssh treats
SSH_ASKPASS, and it *does not* treat it as a command with arguments. Do
not set use_shell.

As I said, this error message is redundant. No big deal, though.

You must check for errors here as well. No error message is needed, either.

I think you can shorten this loop to

	strbuf_setlen(&buffer, strcspn(buffer.buf, "\r\n"));
