This is another set of patches from Git for Windows' fork that have been sitting there since 2010, providing cross-platform GUI helpers to ask the user a question or allow typing in a password.

This patch series was first submitted as https://github.com/patthoyts/git-gui/pull/5 which was ignored for almost three years, then re-submitted as https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui/pull/3 which was rejected in favor of a contribution by mail.

The patches are based on Git GUI's master branch at https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui/.

Heiko Voigt (1):
  git-gui: provide question helper for retry fallback on Windows
Johannes Schindelin (3):
  git gui: set GIT_ASKPASS=git-gui--askpass if not set yet
  git-gui--askyesno: allow overriding the window title
  git-gui--askyesno (mingw): use Git for Windows' icon, if available
