It looks like you're getting some color output, probably because of some
unwise git configuration or something that makes git think it's talking
to a terminal. Please see if this patch works to fix things:

diff --git a/PGBuild/SCM.pm b/PGBuild/SCM.pm
index dcfd180..6dc1232 100644
--- a/PGBuild/SCM.pm
+++ b/PGBuild/SCM.pm
@@ -983,7 +983,7 @@ sub _setup_new_workdir
    # doesn't yet know about
    my @fetchlog = run_log('git fetch --prune');

-   my @branches = `git branch`;
+   my @branches = `git branch --no-color`;
    chomp @branches;
    my @colog;
    if (grep { /\bbf_$branch\b/ } @branches)

cheers
