This change is a workaround for a bug of git for windows: When stderr is redirected, git for windows fails to detect the console and is unable to prompt for a password.
The workaround solves this problem by checking the output (only on Windows) and if an error with the public key authentication is detected, it executes the following retries without a redirection of stderr. This also disables the ability to monitor the progress and therefore the output timeout, but since the full timeout is still in place it should be manageable.
