If builder.Write is returning an ObjectId, I would expect that it exists and this test is not necessary. If builder.Write is claiming that it succeeded, but did not succeed, then we should fix that problem.

Why is it lying?

builder.Write() does succeed and returns the correct created objectId. Lookup(id) fails because an anti-virus client blocks the read to the created object file.

It is just nicer to fail gracefully here since Lookup just returns null when the object can't be found.

Hahahaha. Well, it's pretty shocking that an anti-virus software would be so terrible as to put you in this situation.

That said, please don't make assumptions about why a tree wasn't found in the error message. Something more like "unable to write tree" would be more appropriate.

But thanks for clarifying, indeed I misunderstood and thought the AV software was failing the write not the resultant read.

Attached find process monitor showing the object created successfully then the read denied. Further down the AV deletes the file and shows it in its log. Libgit2sharp null pointers during this process
