I had the same issue when switching from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 18.04.

I have solved it manually on my computer. It seems git has changed the error message displayed when calling git symbolic-ref HEAD in a non-git repository. It was fatal: Not a git repository and they removed the capital n of Not. As a consequence, gitstatus.py does exit anymore when in a non-git folder via the check:

if 'fatal: Not a git repository' in error_string:
	sys.exit(0)

I have used a regexp with a the argument to ignore case to replace the inclusion check:

if re.search(r'fatal: not a git repository', error_string, re.IGNORECASE):
    sys.exit(0)
