Adding Last Modified Git Status to Pages?

First, when using with, the context (aka “the dot”) is rebound to its scope. For example:

{{- $var := "foo: -}}
{{- with $var -}}
  {{ . }}
{{- end -}}

will emit foo.

See:
https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/#the-dot
https://gohugo.io/functions/with/

Second, neither with nor isset will do what you need, but this will:

{{- if $.GitInfo -}}
  {{ .GitInfo.Subject }}
{{- end -}}

This was not intuitive. I found it here: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4184.

Finally, at least for me, this is a non-issue if all of my content is under source control. It sounds like some of yours is not.
