fatal error: unexpected signal during runtime execution in Clone(...)

[patrickdevivo]

Hi there! We're seeing a pretty consistent crash in our code that appears to be originating in the Clone call in libgit2 (via git2go). We're using github.com/libgit2/git2go/v33 v33.0.9 and are seeing the following:

fatal error: unexpected signal during runtime execution
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0xf8de5c]

This is where we're calling out to the Clone in our code: https://github.com/mergestat/fuse/blob/b1165024f3dc65fd498bad3b1f1c8e3b54f73f8e/internal/syncer/git_files.go#L81

We would really appreciate any points anyone may have here - we're trying to understand where the issue is and if it's in our use of the library or elsewhere.

Thanks!

@patrickdevivo are you getting this every time you execute or only during long executions? We have experienced a similar issue, which transformed into a new error when we started doing a remote-ls before the clone operation.

For us they tend to happen only after a few hours of executing clone operations, but we are still investigating the root causes.
