Output window changes "Debug" to "Source control - Git"


I am using the output window to output some debug info.

For some reason, Visual Studio occasionally changes the dropdown labeled "Show output from:" from "Debug" to "Source control - Git".

Why?

Can I stop this?

    Will they fix all aspects of the bug? Let's hope so.
