You still haven't answered the question: What command do you think it is trying to execute?
Where is the command on that line?
HINT: $oldname is not a command.

GIT-COLUMN(1) Git Manual GIT-COLUMN(1)
NAME
git-column - Display data in columns
SYNOPSIS
git column [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
[--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
DESCRIPTION
This command formats its input into multiple columns.
OPTIONS
--command=<name>
Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and column.ui.
--mode=<mode>
Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option syntax.
--raw-mode=<n>
Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used by other commands that have already parsed layout mode.
--width=<width>
Specify the terminal width. By default git column will detect the terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so.
--indent=<string>
String to be printed at the beginning of each line.
--nl=<N>
String to be printed at the end of each line, including newline character.
--padding=<N>
The number of spaces between columns. One space by default.
