Description

Hello, I'm unable to this this package within my Visual Studio 2022 extension.

Reproduction steps
  1. Create a new VisualStudio.Extensibiltiy Extension project (VS 2022)
  2. Add a reference to <PackageReference Include="LibGit2Sharp" Version="0.30.0"/>
  3. Add using (var repo = new Repository(repoDir)) to a command

Sample project:
ExtensibilityNativeLibraries.zip

Expected behavior

To initialize the repo instance

Actual behavior

Exception
The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception.
InnerException = {"Unable to load DLL 'git2-a418d9d' or one of its dependencies: Não foi possível encontrar o módulo especificado. (0x8007007E)"}

Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

0.30.0

Research direction

Start by opening ExtensibilityNativeLibraries.zip and reproducing the PackageReference setup in a Visual Studio 2022 extensibility project on Windows 11 with .NET 8. Trace the NativeMethods initialization when new Repository(repoDir) runs; done means the repository initializes without the reported native DLL exception.
