Krel is unreliable on Windows

[katcosgrove]

What happened:

From multiple Release Retros, we've found that Krel is largely unreliable on Windows, even when using WSL. Most recently, it has failed to clone the repo into the temp directory regardless of flags set. Context: https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/CN1KH4K9A/p1731345719535379

What you expected to happen:

Clone the repo into the temp directory for generation of release notes.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Attempt to follow normal instructions for generating release notes on Windows using WSL.

Anything else we need to know?:

Environment:

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: Unknown
• OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release): WSL2 on Windows
• Kernel (e.g. uname -a):
• Others:

I'm wondering if I can have a look and get assigned to the issue? :)
