[yocto] Prompting for password when fetching git repo over https

Mon Feb 9 09:35:32 PST 2015

Poky Daisy 1.6.1

We have to fetch a git repo using https protocol. We are looking to
see whether we can change this to ssh instead, but that is not
possible at the moment.

Access requires a userid and password. We do not want to hard-code
the credentials into the recipe or into some other file like ~/.netrc.

Ideally, we would like to get prompted for credentials just as when
we invoke git from the  command like.

Is there any way to do this?
