This is a duplicate of #2021

@ozanneconsulting This is actually a slightly different scenario than #2021, so I'm reopening it. #2021 is talking about the behavior when using the default constructor, and your issue is about when you've passed a path to an actual repo.

@bording can we have a new release ?

[bording]

Fixed in LibGit2Sharp v0.27.2.

@bording I confirm this release fixes my problem.
Thanks for your unbelievable reactivity.
