Cannot stage a folder which contains a file with name ".git"

Reproduction steps

1. Use LibGit2Sharp to work on a local git repository
2. Create some random sub folders in that local repository folder
3. Create in some of these subfolders a file with the name ".git"
4. Try to stage all changes

Expected behavior

Like with e.g. Git for Windows
https://git-scm.com/download/win
The file gets just added to the repro without any exception

At least I would expect a better error description

Actual behavior

The LibGit2Sharp stage process crashes with an exception.
The exception contains the message "Invalid path"
It took a while till I figured out why this actually happens.

Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

Nuget version of LibGit2Sharp: 0.26.0 (Current latest)
Nuget version of LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries: 2.0.267 (Newer version available but not compatible to newest LibGit2Sharp)

Operating system(s) tested; .NET runtime tested

Windows 10 Version 1903 - Build 18362.239

Project settings

The project in which I use the LibGit2Sharp is build with Visual Studio 2019.
The project uses the .Net Framework 4.7.2

Staging unter Windows 10 mit LibGit2Sharp 0.26.0 und LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries 2.0.267 anhand eines Repositorys reproduzieren, das in einem Unterordner eine Datei namens ".git" enthält. Das Verhalten mit Git for Windows vergleichen und anschließend den Staging-Pfad zurückverfolgen, der die Ausnahme "Invalid path" erzeugt. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn die Datei ohne Ausnahme gestaged werden kann oder der Fehler die Ursache eindeutig angibt.
