repo.Network.ListReferences(remote) throwing exception "this remote has never connected" intermittently

Calling repo.Network.ListReferences(remote) throws exception "this remote has never connected" intermittently. This is how I have called it ... if it matters

          string localRepoPath = "path to cloned folder";
          string remoteName = "origin";            
            using (Repository repo = new Repository(localRepoPath))
            {
                remoteName = repo.Network.Remotes.FirstOrDefault()?.Name ?? remoteName;
                Remote remote = repo.Network.Remotes[remoteName];                
                List<Reference> references = repo.Network.ListReferences(remote).ToList();
				
				// some more code logic here
			}

So am calling the overload of ListReferences(Remote remote) which essentially calls ListReferencesInternal(string url, CredentialsHandler credentialsProvider) passing null to CredentialsHandler. Should this be an issue? Don't think so since it's working in second try or so. Relevant exception stack trace below

{
"Depth": 1,
"ClassName": "",
"Message": "this remote has never connected",
"Source": "LibGit2Sharp",
"StackTraceString": " at LibGit2Sharp.Core.Ensure.HandleError(Int32 result)\r\n at LibGit2Sharp.Core.Proxy.git_remote_ls(Repository repository, RemoteHandle remote)\r\n at LibGit2Sharp.Network.ListReferencesInternal(String url, CredentialsHandler credentialsProvider)\r\n

Please suggest, what's wrong is going on (Or) if you need further information from my end.

Found this existing issue https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1504 but am not passing any credential, and it's a public repo which am trying to access.

从 Network.ListReferences(Remote)、ListReferences 和 stack trace 中显示的 git_remote_ls 调用开始。使用提供的示例重现第一次调用以及后续调用，然后跟踪 remote 的间歇性状态；当确定原因，并且该失败有回归测试或明确记录的解决方案时，即视为完成。
