Access Violation on pushing to a new remote

Reproduction steps

  using var repository = new Repository(_options.LocalRepositoryPath);
            const string message = "message";
            var commitOptions = new CommitOptions()
            {
                AllowEmptyCommit = false,
                PrettifyMessage = true,
            };
            var authorSignature = new Signature(_options.Username, _options.Email, DateTimeOffset.UtcNow);

            await UpdateReadmeFile();

            repository.Index.Add("readme.md");
            repository.Index.Write();

            Commands.Stage(repository, "*");

            repository.Commit(message, authorSignature, authorSignature, commitOptions);

            PushOptions pushOptions = new PushOptions()
            {
                CredentialsProvider = (_, __, ___) => new DefaultCredentials(),               
            };

            _logger.LogInformation("Pushing changes to remote");
            _logger.LogDebug($"Branch has been tracked: {branch.IsTracking}");        

            repository.Network.Push(branch, pushOptions);

Expected behavior

Another error should occur when the local branch is not being tracked. But not an access violation exception.

Actual behavior

This craches with:

Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Operating system(s) tested; .NET runtime tested

OS: Windows 10 Professional
.NET runtime: NET 6.0

Den bereitgestellten Push-Ablauf unter Windows 10 mit .NET 6 reproduzieren, mit Fokus auf repository.Network.Push und den im Stacktrace gezeigten Zugriff auf branch.IsTracking. Branch.ResolveTrackedBranch und den Aufruf git_branch_upstream_name untersuchen; abgeschlossen ist die Aufgabe, wenn ein nicht getrackter lokaler Branch einen gewöhnlichen Fehler statt einer Zugriffsverletzung erzeugt.
