How to clone a repo using Libgit2Sharp

Question

I am trying to clone a repository with the below C# code

try
{
  var result = Repository.Clone(remoteUrl, localPath);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}

Repository.Clone() does not return, and there is no thrown exception. Is there anything wrong with the code? Am I missing something?

I know a lot of time has passed since this question was asked, but this is how I do it (in case it is still helpful):

Repository.Clone("https://repository.git", deployerPath, new CloneOptions()
{
    BranchName = "branch_to_pull_from",
    CredentialsProvider = CredentialsProvider(),
});

The CredentialsProvider method should return a Credentials object via the CredentialsHandler delegate, provided in the LibGit2Sharp.Handlers namespace.

By the way, I'm using LibGit2Sharp version 0.26.1, in which an exception is actually thrown in this scenario.

You can use 2 Progress Handlers, LibGit2Sharp.Handlers.TransferProgressHandler and LibBit2Sharp.Handlers.CheckoutProgressHandler and add them to your CloneOptions as OnCheckoutProgress and OnTransferProgress. I still can't get the Credentials part to work tho.

Is it possible to set configuration? i.e. core.longpaths = true?
