I tryed ssh-agent and solution with SSH_ASKPASS but nothing worked, then I found a solution using http://expect.sourceforge.net/

Example(executed in shell):

pass="passwod"
/usr/bin/expect <<EOD
spawn git fetch origin $BRANCH
expect "Enter passphrase for key '/home/$USERNAME/.ssh/id_rsa': "
send "$pass\r"
expect eof
EOD
