Description

Am trying list down the Remote Branches in my application. am getting No error message has been provided by the native library while cloning. its only happening on the few repos.

  var path = LibGit2Sharp.Repository.Clone(sourceUrl, workingDirectoryPath, cloneOptions);

            if (!bare)
            {
                using (var repo = new LibGit2Sharp.Repository(path))
                {
                    repo.Reset(ResetMode.Hard);
                }
            }

            return path;

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure through Repository.Clone on the Linux Docker environment and compare it with the working Windows case. Trace the reported path through Core.Ensure.HandleError and Proxy.git_clone; done means the affected repository clones without the native-library exception and the resulting error behavior is covered.
