fatal: unable to checkout working tree #335

Hi all,

I was curious about Minix and tried cloning the tree on my Windows 10 machine. I got the following error:

Maxim@VISHERA MINGW64 ~/prj/minix
$ git clone https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix.git
Cloning into 'minix'...

fatal: unable to checkout working tree
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

Git version:

$ git --version
git version 2.36.0.windows.1

Any ideas?

Edit: I've just tried to git clone from the official website with $ git clone git://git.minix3.org/minix and got the same problem.

Hello,

Seems like NTFS does not like this path. I tried disabling core.protectNTFS git parameter, but got some other errors.

All in all, I recommend you using Unix system if you want to work with (or compile) Minix source code.
