I’d assume that something’s going wrong in __git_extract_aliases, but
I can’t reproduce it.  Could the whole substitution in that function
somehow return an empty result that gets concatenated with the "\'" at
the end?

What are you trying to achieve?  A simple cp -a on the main directory
followed by a rm -rf $DIR/.git would create a copy without any Git
information.  Otherwise, the archive sub-command may be of interest if
you’re packing a tree.
