It just prints a diff of what's changed and exits, instead of presenting the dialogs to add changes to the index. I did some bisecting and tracked the bug down to this commit: https://github.com/git/git/commit/136c8c8b8fa39f1315713248473dececf20f8fe7.

Please see https://public-inbox.org/git/20171003093157.gq7za2fwcqsouire@sigill.intra.peff.net/T/ and replace the color=always by color=auto setting to see if it fixes your problem. (If it doesn't we're dealing with a new problem and not the one reported more than 5 times already :)

Thanks, Stefan
