----------
The build system has changed a lot since OpenWrt, in particular to be faster.  It seems like this change is an unwanted side-effect.  Did this work with LEDE before?  If so, please find which LEDE commit broke support for this use-case.

As a workaround, you can use GIT_ASKPASS or core.askPass.  For instance, something like this:

git config core.askPass "cat /home/myuser/mygitpassword.txt"

where mygitpassword.txt contains the password.  Or use something more complicated with a secure keystore.
