This is exactly the problem I was complaining about when I wrote my
plink/custom port patch. Plink *does* attempt to be interactive.
However, there's a problem between stdin communication between git
(MingW?) and plink (native Windows apps?). No one I've talked to has a
solution for this problem, unfortunately.
