git clone error: unable to create symlink private/vendor/bin/doctrine-dbal: File name too long

This is odd.

$ git clone https://github.com/glFusion/glfusion.git glfusion-new

fatal: unable to checkout working tree
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'

It looks like there is something dirty in the repo.

Looking at the blob for private/vendor/bin/doctrine-dbal it has mode=12000 which makes it a symlink but instead of containing the filename of the link target it contains actual file content.

I have attached how I drill down from the HEAD commit through tree objects to doctrine-dbal.

I've taken the file out - let's see if that solves it.

Fixed the errant file.
