title: How to resolve "git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128)" error on TortoiseGit?
body: <p>I've run into this serious error while committing, and <a href="https://tortoisegit.org/issue/1101" rel="noreferrer">created a bug report</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I keep getting this error on TortoiseGit operations:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've reinstalled the program, rebooted, and tried to clone a fresh repo from github - nothing seems to work. I also deleted %appdata%\Tortoise git folder ... I'm at a loss now. Any advice on how to proceed?</p>
