TAKATSU Tomonari 87e982aa0f - Add new port: security/R-cran-askpass
Cross-platform utilities for prompting the user for credentials or
  a passphrase, for example to authenticate with a server or read a
  protected key. Includes native programs for MacOS and Windows, hence
  no 'tcltk' is required. Password entry can be invoked in two different
  ways: directly from R via the askpass() function, or indirectly as
  password-entry back-end for 'ssh-agent' or 'git-credential' via the
  SSH_ASKPASS and GIT_ASKPASS environment variables. Thereby the user
  can be prompted for credentials or a passphrase if needed when R
  calls out to git or ssh.
