Interesting report, thank you. It looks like the error is thrown by git itself:

/usr/bin/git exited with -1: Cloning into '.terraform/modules/vgw-strongwan-site-to-site-vpn'...
│ BUG: refs/files-backend.c:2956: initial ref transaction called with existing refs

Please therefore do the following in order to determine which of the various pieces are going wrong here.

1. Try running terraform init the same way inside WSL, but with a different module (not vgw-strongwan-site-to-site-vpn).
2. Try the following command inside WSL instead of terraform init: git clone https://github.com/jye-aviatrix/terraform-aws-vgw-strongwan-site-to-site-vpn . && git checkout 1.0.0

Please also supply your version of git.

In the meantime, some workarounds that could conceivably fix this:

• Update to latest version of git if not already using
• Clear the module cache at .terraform/modules/

I'm curious as to why the "Error: Failed to download module" is printing twice. That's the only thing here that suggests to me this may be a bug in Terraform Core - otherwise the likely suspects are git, go-getter, and the peculiarities of a VSCode-on-WSL-on-Windows setup.
