I don't have any Git customization in that repo (I tried in several
different repos).
System-wide ~/.gitconfig is:

[user]
name = Maxim Kim
email = habamax <at> gmail.com
[core]
autocrlf = input
quotepath = off
[credential]
helper = libsecret
[commit]
verbose = true
[pull]
rebase = true
[github]
user = habamax

Yes I can see diffs of a single or multiple files (in the recipe I had a
single
file with a single diff).

Get the error described in initial message.

Once I am back to my windows laptop, will record a anigif and attach to
mail.

I have also defined HOME as C:/Users/maxim.kim (and it worked for 28.2). I
should probably install 28.2 again and check if it still works.

I am not sure if ../AppData/Local/Temp/ exists as I didn't check what is
default-directory at that moment. But C:/Users/maxim.kim/AppData/Local/Temp/
exists and I've seen other temp files there that looked like emacs+git
related,
smth with MSG in name.

I am not sure why Emacs use relative file name here to be honest.

Will check how to use Edebug, thank you!
