AccessViolationException on `RetrieveStatus`

See original GitHub issue

I’m experiencing an issue which presumably originates from an update of git on my device (updated Visual Studio), but causes AccessViolationException in libgit2sharp.

Reproduction steps

This happens with all repos on my device, regardless of what state the repo is in, it seems:

var repo = new Repository("path/to/some/repo");
var status = repo.RetrieveStatus(new StatusOptions { Show = StatusShowOption.IndexAndWorkDir });

The second line throws the System.AccessViolationException (trace, see below)

Expected behavior

No exception.

Actual behavior

Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Repeat 2 times:

Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

I’m on version 0.27.0-preview-0096.

#1884 fixed this issue, so I recommend people affected by this to upgrade to 0.27.0-preview-0100. If anyone here is still experiencing AccessViolationExceptions with the newest version, when working with the newest dotnet runtime, I’d suggest to post it referencing this issue, as the root cause might be very similar.
