Dear maintainer(s), the following script, when executed with git 2.19 triggers the bug in the subject line. The problem seems to be the interaction between add -N and rename detection. The git binary used is the one currently packaged in Debian unstable. I have searched the list for the bug text and have found nothing, apologies if the bug is already known. System information, script content and script output follow.
