Doh, I was doing 'git checkout -p HEAD', when I checkout from the index I can reproduce the bug and it is fixed by the patch I linked to earlier which will be in git 2.23.0. That will be released soon (we're at 2.23.0.rc2 at the moment)
Thanks again for taking the time to report the bug
Best Wishes
Phillip
