Clone Error : Invalid Path due to File extension? #22664
-
|
I’m trying to clone a repo that isn’t owned by me and encountered the following error Resolving deltas: 100% (43808/43808), done. Guessing that the file extension on the xml ends with a space and Windows doesn’t allow such a file to be created? The repo isn’t owned by me, so i can’t really edit the xml extension on the repo, is there anyway i can get around this? Thanks in advance |

Note that if you are using sparse-checkout on windows, you may need to add core.protectNTFS false per git-for-windows/git#2777 |
