   I don't know why the `GitSshdSession` asks for a password up front. It 
should set appropriate `FilePasswordProvider` and `UserInteraction` 
implementations based on the JGit `CredentialsProvider` instead (and they 
should be null-safe).
   
   Note that the JGit `CredentialsProvider` is not just for getting 
credentials. It is a general interface for user interaction similar to 
`javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler`. In JGit it is used for instance 
also to prompt the user what to do when an SSH server's host key is not known 
yet. (If `CredentialsProvider.isInteractive() == true`.) So it might be a good 
idea anyway to provide a general `CredentialsProvider` implementation. (Though 
I don't see what this `GitSshdSession` does with it further on -- apparently 
nothing.)
   
   As I mentioned in the JGit issue, another idea might be to use JGit's own 
binding to Apache MINA sshd.
