Hi,

git-svn reads usernames (and other stuff) from an interactive terminal. This behavior cause GUIs to hang waiting for git-svn to complete (http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/issues/detail?id=967).

Again I honoured all your ideas. Hopefully the patches can be applied now. The new patches follow in the next mails (you can also pull from git://github.com/csware/git.git askpass-prompt).

The first four patches implement the raw functionality. The last and fifth patch extends the prompt-method so that it can be used for all purposes in order to query users.
