prompt: clean up strbuf usage

peff · gitster · commit 31b49d9b6538 · 2012-02-03T14:37:02.000-08:00
The do_askpass function inherited a few bad habits from the
original git_getpass. One, there's no need to strbuf_reset a
buffer which was just initialized. And two, it's a good
habit to use strbuf_detach to claim ownership of a buffer's
string (even though in this case the owning buffer goes out
of scope, so it's effectively the same thing).
