Cloning fails on Windows due to whitespace in path

[danbunnell]

Hi,

I was attempting to clone this repository on Windows but checkout fails due to whitespace at the end of a folder name: nodeJSAppExamples/basicArbExample /.gitignore. I have included the full error below.

The temp workaround is to download the ZIP: Windows appears to handle unpacking the ZIP by removing the whitespace silently during the process. However, the workaround does not help to get a local Windows branch in sync with the remote. Manually configuring a remote still throws errors when attempting to checkout.

Can you fix the basicArbExample path for Windows users?

Thanks, Dan
