Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation ?

using git lfs to put large files on a github repository.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective) ?

"git push" was stuck asking forever the passphrase of my ssh key (even if
I wrote it correcty).

A workaround is to remove the passphrase (using "ssh-keygen -p"), but it is not an acceptable solution.

It seems like a problem of closed or badly redirected stdin file descriptor.

I think there are two potential options here. The first option would be to
use an ssh-agent. If you add your key to the agent git-lfs will be able to
use it. The second option would be to install ssh-askpass and set the
SSH_ASKPASS environment variable so that it prompts you for your passphrase.
