'git status' yields different results in git bash (Windows 10) an WSL2 bash

Question

I work on Windows 10 with WSL2. I initialized a git repo in git bash (Windows) and everything works fine (commit, push etc.).

git status     # on Windows, git bash

When I switch to WSL2 and have a look at the same status of the same repo (drive mounted in WSL), I find that all files are untracked (WSL2 bash).

git status     # same repo in WSL2 bash

My Questions:

1. Why does this happen?
2. Is there a way to avoid this and achieve consistency across both OS (i.e. without cloning into a separate repo in WSL)?
