Research direction

Start with the provided Repository.Init and Commands.Fetch reproduction, especially FetchOptions.CredentialsProvider, and compare behavior between LibGit2Sharp 0.28, 0.29, and 0.30. Confirm the result in the reported environment and identify whether authentication or redirect handling changed; done means fetch completes normally with the supplied credentials and the required runtime and OS details are documented.
