Unknown escape sequence (and XX more errors)

[klieret]

Describe the bug

Executing the touch command (as in the example) on any of my git repositories results in an error "208:22: unknown escape sequence (and 29 more errors)".

To Reproduce

My command:

git-xargs --loglevel debug  --repo hsf-training/organization --branch-name "test-branch"   --commit-message "Testing git-xargs"  touch "test123.test"   

The output is:

Since I also experience the issue with multi-gitter, it does not seem to be related to git-xargs.

I have also found out that the issue disappears if I remove my .gitconfig, so probably this is where the escape sequences are being found (despite not causing any issues when running git normally).
I suspect that this might be an issue with the go-git implementation.
