Git status parse error after v.2.22.0 upgrade

[Espen Antonsen]

Seeing an error after upgrading to git v2.22.0.

git status shows “error: could not parse ‘*a commit message from 2012*’”

Downgrading to v.2.21.0 does not yield this message for git status.

I can only replicate this in a private repo I have so far. Unable to share the 
repo but can debug if you need more info.
