Research direction
Investigate the git fetch/pull implementation in GitUI. Look at the networking code and async runtime (likely tokio) to see if there is an issue with DNS resolution or socket timeouts specifically on WSL. Check if other async git clients work fine. Consider comparing with Lazygit's approach.
