Environment data

PS Version: 5.1.19041.3031
PS HostName: ConsoleHost
PSReadLine Version: 2.0.0-beta2
PSReadLine EditMode: Windows
OS: 10.0.19041.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
BufferWidth: 177
BufferHeight: 41

Steps to reproduce

I was committing the code through the VS Code Terminal.
Using the command: git commit -m "..." --no-verify

I believe the message length was the issue. My message had about 879 characters including newlines.
But the VS Code terminal automatically tried to re-commit using the same command 14 times and finally succeeded.

Expected behavior

Either succeed the first time to commit the code.
Or throw a proper error and some details to fix the command that we are running

Actual behavior

Explained above.
I've seen a similar issue but that is closed: PowerShell/vscode-powershell#1536
