Git doesn’t ask for SSH key password with net.git-fetch-with-cli = true under Windows

[pwnorbitals]

Problem

I’m using private repositories like this : crate = { git = "ssh://[email protected]/namespace/crate.git" }

In order to allow for SSH authentication, I’m turning on the feature net.git-fetch-with-cli = true through .cargo/config.toml.

It all works fine under Linux (WSL2) and asks for the private key’s password through stdin, but not under Windows.

Steps

1. Use Windows 10
2. Use a private repository like shown in problem description
3. Use a password-protected SSH key
4. Activate net.git-fetch-with-cli
5. cargo build fails

Possible Solution(s)

Might be in src/cargo/sources/git/utils.rs:880 or further down in cargo-util/src/process_builder.rs:284
