Getting error (Git returned an unexpected exit code '128') after updating to v1.3.1

Description

Few minutes ago I’ve updated to v1.3.1 and after opening GitHub Desktop (everytime) I get this error pops up.

Version

• GitHub Desktop: 1.3.1
• Operating system: Windows 10 x64

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update to v1.3.1
2. Open Desktop. You get error.
3. Close and re-open Desktop.
4. You will get this error again.

You will also get this error if you keep GitHub Desktop open. Probably a background task.

Expected Behavior

No error should raised.

Actual Behavior

Git returned an unexpected exit code '128' which should be handled by the caller.'

Additional Information

No additional info

Logs

I could attach log here but I investigated it and no error or similar messages but infos available. I avoid uploading all logs here due to some details about my private repositories in it.

Update: This evening I keep GitHub Desktop open in the background. After 5-6 hours, when I maximize it, I see error message already displayed. I just clicked Close however, another one pops up. I tried nearly hundred times and it seems GitHub Desktop does this in a loop in the background, so I got probably a thousand of errors. I had to close manually from task manager. Anyway, I just watch my GitHub Desktop today and it’s indeed this error pops up every few minutes.

I have exactly the same issue on Mac OSX 10.13.6.

The Error: Git returned an unexpected exit code ‘128’ which should be handled by the caller.’

I also only see the expected log entries - only infos, some warnings, no errors and nothing that seems related to this.

Just a heads up for people who are arriving to this issue - the PR #5297 has been merged, but we’re just looking to wrap up #5300 and aiming to publish a release tomorrow. Stay tuned.
