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/j6t/git-gui/.
Changes since v1:
* Rebased to current master branch of Git GUI, resolving merge conflicts. * Dropped double empty line. * Skip yes/no functions in favor of inline exit 0/exit 1. * The --title option is now documented in the git-gui--askyesno script.

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
