Repository not being cloned inside a docker container

[Hobaxo13]

Reproduction steps

I currently am deploying a micro-service using .net standard 2.0, which either clones or updates a repo from GitLab.

For this I have a functionality that works perfectly in a Windows environment, but it does not do the trick inside a docker container after I spin it up.

Expected behavior

The repo should be cloned/pulled in a Docker container just like in Windows.

Actual behavior

No repo structure is present inside the linux directory (permissions set to 777). I am also seeing the directory's timestamp being updated when it should do the pull.

Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

**netstandard2.0**

Operating system(s) tested; .NET runtime tested

Working:
Windows 10 Enterprise, 64-bit
Not working:
Linux 828ec2e85f2c 4.9.184-linuxkit #1 SMP Tue Jul 2 22:58:16 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Implementation

if (gitFolder.GetDirectories().Length == 0)
{
    try
    {
        // Get user credentials
        Repository.Clone("repository.git", deployerPath, new CloneOptions()
        {
            BranchName = "develop",
            CredentialsProvider = CredentialsProvider(),
        });
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        ...
    }
}
else
{
    try
    {
        var repository = new Repository(deployerPath);
        Commands.Pull(repository,
            new Signature("blah", "blah@blah.com", DateTimeOffset.Now), new PullOptions()
            {
                FetchOptions = new FetchOptions() {CredentialsProvider = CredentialsProvider()},
                MergeOptions = new MergeOptions() {FailOnConflict = true},
            });
    }
    ...

I raised this question in SO (find it here); however, I have not received a response back.
