Possible In-memory repository regression?

So I'm trying to get my branch updated with master https://github.com/Zoxive/libgit2sharp/tree/zoxive/refdb/ which revives the pluggable RefDb backend (#1226)

I've gotten through all the compile issues rebasing it up to the latest with dotnet core, and the codegen stuff. (Took a while to figure out that I had to change all the NativeMethod funcs to use the new custom marshaler)

Anyways all compiles and stuff now.. but testing my changes im running into an error that appears to be coming straight from libgit2.

LibGit2SharpException: path cannot exist in repository

It happens when i have an in memory repository and an OdbBackend.

Heres a sample unit test that shows the problem.
https://github.com/Zoxive/libgit2sharp/commit/7957581353134c17deaa71714ffd24a0a6130c5e

I did see that libgit2 had a regression (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/4263) @ethomson fixed.
I'm guessing its related?

Comece executando o teste unitário de exemplo no commit 7957581353134c17deaa71714ffd24a0a6130c5e com um repositório em memória e um OdbBackend. Compare a falha com o pull request 4263 do libgit2 e rastreie onde a exceção “path cannot exist in repository” é propagada. O trabalho estará concluído quando a reprodução passar sem causar regressões em outros backends de repositório.
