Description

Reproduction steps

I have a git repository with remote origin.

repository = new Repository(repositoryRootPath);
var remote = repository.Network.Remotes["origin"];
IEnumerable refSpecs = remote.FetchRefSpecs.Select(x => x.Specification).ToList();
Commands.Fetch(repository, remote.Name, refSpecs, new FetchOptions(), "ok");

Expected behavior

I expect it to run through.

Actual behavior

error:
NativeMethods.git_remote_fetch(remote, ref array.Array, fetchOptions, logMessage);
returns non zero

Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

Research direction

Start with the reported Commands.Fetch call and the NativeMethods.git_remote_fetch entry point, using the stated LibGit2Sharp 0.31.0/2.0.323 and .NET 4.8 versions. Capture the native error and inspect the remote refspecs and FetchOptions; done means fetching origin completes without a nonzero return.
