Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Commands.Fetch against a bare repository using a file:// remote on Windows 10 with .NET 6, and compare the result with git fetch. Trace the path-resolution entry point used by Commands.Fetch; done means the fetch succeeds for the reported remote path without the filename or directory syntax error.
