Comment(by burdges@…):

 There was a similar git-core ticket three years ago at
 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16911 which macports resolved by removing
 the dependency on openssh.

 Apple started doing graphical ssh password prompts themselves around 10.6
 if not before, but it's well integrated in 10.7.  I personally dislike how
 Apple built ssh-askpass's functionality into ssh-agent and ssh itself, but
 it's convenient and it's now the expected behavior.  Running otool -L
 /usr/bin/ssh-agent gives some idea what's going on without uninstalling
 the openssh macport.

 Users must install SSHKeychain to emulate Apple's default behavior once
 openssh is installed.
