2 years ago If I try git restore --source=HEAD :/ as suggested in the I get this
(humble) c:\Code\ros2\humble_ws\src\Universal_Robots_ROS2_Driver>git restore --source=HEAD :/

Indeed, I can't create a directory named aux:
(humble) c:\Code\dbgdump>mkdir aux
The directory name is invalid.I can create files named aux.* on Windows 11, so maybe this has been alleviated there, and I can create files with no extension, but I can't create a file named aux alone:
(humble) c:\Code\dbgdump>echo "hello" > aux.go
(humble) c:\Code\dbgdump>echo "hello" > aux.log
(humble) c:\Code\dbgdump>echo "hello" > aux
The system cannot find the file specified.
(humble) c:\Code\dbgdump>echo "hello" > noextensionfile
(humble) c:\Code\dbgdump>dir | findstr aux

Do not use the following reserved names for the name of a file:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed immediately by an extension; for example, NUL.txt is not recommended. For more information, see Namespaces.
I know the driver is not supported on Windows, but I tried to clone the repo to use platform-agnostic packages
ur_bringupandur_moveit_configto test MoveIt on a Windows machine with the driver running on a remote Linux machine.If I try to clone the repo, I get this:
The cloned directory is empty and
git statusshows everything in it as deleted:I'm using Git for Windows 2.37:
As a workaround, I downloaded the driver release
.zipand copiedur_bringupandur_moveit_configpackages to my workspace. This does work, using Robostack ROS2 Humble.Feel free to close without action. For any real configuration beyond testing I'll have custom MoveIt configs and launch files anyway.
However, I wanted to report this in case it's an easy fix.
