Support embedded PDB

[SIkebe]

In .NET Core 3.X, there is a workaround for single file exe with libgit2sharp.

However, in .NET 5.0, there is no support for IncludeSymbolsInSingleFile and Microsoft recommends embedded PDBs instead.

Could you consider using embedded PDB?

mkdir Sample && cd Sample
dotnet new console
dotnet add package libgit2sharp

# Modify csproj file (See below)

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained=true /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true

using System;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

Sample.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
    <DebugType>embedded</DebugType>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="libgit2sharp" Version="0.26.2" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

I don't know what workaround could be used, but it would be more useful to deal with this problem at the root and stop making a PDB file mandatory to start an application. A ticket (libgit2/libgit2sharp.nativebinaries#111) has been posted for this purpose but no answer so far.

This has been fixed with 0.27.0-preview-0116.
