We always get this message when cloning. It doesn't seem to cause an issue functionally but it does cause our users concern and raises a lot of questions.
We're on windows. It appears to be related to shallow links being created, the core part of the trace output is:
cmd /c mklink /J C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\refs C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\refs
Using no symlinks for file from C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\shallow to C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\shallow
cmd /c mklink /H C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\shallow C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\shallow
The system cannot find the file specified.
Using no symlinks for dir from C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\objects to C:\wt\test\error.repo\manifests.git\objects
I have attached the full output.
