At the moment, my suspicion is that ^G causes emacs to trigger (keyboard-quit), but at the same time the surrounding environment (e.g. git) is sending a SIGINT to emacs, which normally acts like ^G but in this case may be triggering the emergency exit mode of emacs. Is there some reason that the interactive add would be sending SIGINT to emacs when I type ^G? If you are using text mode (-nw) then Emacs redefines the INTR character of the terminal to ^G. On the other hand it should also put itself into its own process group, so the parent should not receive the terminal signals. And this is what happens here when I try it.
