Great it's solved. Same as #238
A solution is probably to set the commit message not via command line argument, but per an extra input file.

[hannesdelbeke]

it's solved for me, which is great. 🥳

what I'm concerned about: I rely on Obsidian Git to auto backup my notes, which the plugin failed to do.
I can close this issue, since my problem is solved, but the problem wont be prevented in the future for anyone else.

Recently I've been manually checking git weekly, since a merge issue lead to my notes not being backed up for 4 months 😱
I wouldn't have noticed this bug otherwise.
Before this, Git obsidian auto backed up my notes without issues for the last 2+ years.

Encountered the same issue with the Iconize plugin. Deleting the pre-defined icon packs and adding my local icon pack caused many file changes. Fixed it by adding the icon folder to .gitignore.

If it's applicable and you have bulk of redundant files, try doing this.
