git commit --amend not recognizing valid vimrc options

Question

This is the error I am getting, when I do git commit --amend

Error detected while processing /root/.vimrc:
line  193:
E518: Unknown option: foldmethod=indent
line  194:
E518: Unknown option: foldlevel=99
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I know this is not related to git, but vim is working alright otherwise.

This is the vimrc I am using: https://github.com/sontek/dotfiles

probably the same issue as

which recommends

git config --global core.editor vim
