Hi valtron,
just to set the record straight on a few of my suggestions that turned out
to be incorrect:

It was actually the correct thread.

I was wrong. The problem here is git.exe: you would have to uncomment the
'#options("debug","!strip")' line in the git/PKGBUILD file in
https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages before rebuilding the package
[*1*], and then reinstalling it (which increases the installed size by
94.82MB to 119.63MB due to the unstripped symbols). But then gdb would
find the symbols alright and you'd see that the crash happens in
#1 0x000000010051aecb in setup_explicit_git_dir
(gitdirenv=gitdirenv@entry=0x1005a00cc <sign_off_header+556> ".git",
cwd=cwd@entry=0x10055e970 <cwd>, nongit_ok=nongit_ok@entry=0x0) at
setup.c:669
669 if (!strcmp(cwd->buf, worktree)) { /* cwd == worktree */
and worktree indeed was NULL.
Ciao,
