Josef,

It’s not clear to me whether you’re asking how to avoid SBCL ending up in
the debugger or how to interact with the debugger if it does.  Another
response addressed the former.  If you’re asking about the latter and
already long a UNIX-like environment, you might have your Lisp program read
from a file where that file happens to be a named pipe being fed the output
of Git.  For an example involving a named pipe and clean up, see perhaps
https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/using-named-pipes-fifos-bash .
