GitDiffMargin: Visual Studio crashes

As of today (version 3.1.1.0) this extention causes Visual Studio 2015 to crash if I open a project that uses git. Debugging VS shows me this error message:

System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in LibGit2Sharp.dll
Additional information: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception.

Disabling the extention stops the crashing, but I much rather would enable it 😉

I also just experienced a crash. Actually Windows Defender flagged git2-785d8c4.dll as containing Trojan:Win32/Varpes.N!cl at the same time that VS crashed.

@kuechlerm Thanks for the report! Could you try to install this version and let me know if you still have issues!

We have several other users reporting crashes due to LibGit2Sharp and Libgit2 #93 #92 #87
