I don't have HSSCore.
The idea of a Minimal, Verifiable, Complete Example is that it makes it easy for other people to verify your claim that Git is broken.
So a small public repository would do just fine.
As it is, you're in luck (at least half-lucky), as the git-subtree command already comes with tests. I say half-lucky because they work for me.
But they do suggest that something goes wrong in your setup (something we saw earlier, in git stash's context). To see what I mean, just add the set -x somewhere after the #!/bin/sh line in git-subtree and call the command again that fails for you. You should see something similar to this:
++ git rev-parse --parseopt -- add '--prefix=sub dir' FETCH_HEAD
+ eval 'set -- -P '\''sub dir'\'' -- '\''add'\'' '\''FETCH_HEAD'\'''
++ set -- -P 'sub dir' -- add FETCH_HEADExcept that in your case, it probably says eval ''. I strongly suspect this to be the case, as we saw exactly this symptom before, at least with git stash and with git flow: some overzealous anti-malware (most often, Comodo Internet Security) thought that the sub shell called here indicates some sort of shellcode exploit, and simply shuts down the git rev-parse subprocess (and since git subtree is a Unix shell script, like so many Unix shell scripts, it does not really get error checking right and fails to pick up on the shut down process), so git subtree goes on and tries to use what it thinks is not an empty string.
But it is an empty string, so the git rev-parse --parseopt function never has a chance of normalizing the command-line, and therefore the command-parsing of git-subtree gets thoroughly confused (because the -- is missing that git rev-parse --parseopt would have inserted at the appropriate spot).
Probably you have Comodo Internet Security?

Hopefully, no.

I ran same command succeed on Linux, so I modified this command and run success according to Options output on Linux
