After the message "Inserting

For me, the git command and its return message / value look
suspicious. Could you, pls perform

(setq tramp-debug-on-error t debug-on-error t)

and rerun the test? This might tell us, whether the error happens inside
a git action as suspected. I believe it could be `vc-registered'.

Best regards, Michael.
