libgit2sharp is breaking my ability to open a solution

I'm honestly not even sure when I installed libgit2sharp, but, when I open any solution, Visual Studio 2015 crashes. The following errors are logged to the event viewer:

Faulting application name: devenv.exe, version: 14.0.25123.0, time stamp: 0x56f22f32 Faulting module name: git2-msvstfs.DLL, version: 14.0.25110.0, time stamp: 0x56e1f02b Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00033710 Faulting process id: 0xfbc Faulting application start time: 0x01d1b5d840a79b09 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\git2-msvstfs.DLL Report Id: e7833424-fc8b-4d26-b61b-c824861a3168 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

I've never seen this before so any direction is appreciated:

  • What mechanism is breaking - why is RetrieveStatusWithDetails even being called?
  • How do I investigate the root cause and correct this?
  • Have I found a defect in libgit2sharp?

This is Team Explorer trying to display the Changes page for your Git repository. It looks like this is VS 2015 Update 2? Has this ever worked or did it just start happening? – Edward Thomson
It only recently started. Set this machine up on Thursday of last week, the issue popped up today. – Matt

You didn't; it is included as part of Visual Studio and is the mechanism used for managing your Git repository.

What mechanism is breaking - why is RetrieveStatusWithDetails even being called?

This is Team Explorer trying to show the status of your Git repository.

How do I investigate the root cause and correct this?

It is unlikely that you can.

Have I found a defect in libgit2sharp?

You've found a defect in Visual Studio and you should report it to Microsoft.

I had this today. Didn't find any specific help, but did managed to completely turn off GIT support in Visual Studio 2013 which stopped me experiencing the problem.

Tools->Options->Source Control. And remove GIT Support from the list.
