Summary of the pull request
To support repositories that use VFS and other features specific to the Microsoft.git fork, we should use the Git command line for certain operations that confuse libgit2. This change converts the repository status to use the command line.
Detailed description of the pull request / Additional comments
When retrieving status on a Git repo that uses features like VFS, the vanilla libgit2 implementation does not handle this case correctly. Furthermore, the default behavior is to start walking the entire working directory, hydrating virtualized files, which defeats the smarts in the forked command line "git status" that knows to first check what files are still virtualized and don't need to be examined directly.
An upcoming change will also rework the individual file status properties to use a cached snapshot of this command line repo status. This will be easier to validate if I introduce these changes incrementally.
Validation steps performed
Added new unit tests for fetching
"System.VersionControl.CurrentFolderStatus"to validate the retrieved values.
