Given that:

    $ git log @{x}
    fatal: ambiguous argument '@{x}': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

Spews the output back at you as @{x} not @x the problem must be in
whatever is passing the argument to git, whether that's go or some other
wrapper.

Try putting a "git" first in your $PATH which is nothing but:

    #!/bin/sh
    echo "args: $@"
    exit 1

And seeing what you get.
