Hi all,

I've just noticed that 'git imap-send' does not look at the core.askpass config variable, because it does not call git_default_config. Setting 'GIT_ASKPASS' in the environment works, though.

I've CC'ed people that seem to have been involved in adding credential support for imap-send (git log --grep credential --grep imap-send --all-match).

Cheers,
Philippe.
