Cannot clone repository on Windows #64

Closed leroycep closed 8 years ago

It gives this error:

fatal: cannot create directory at '24:24:^:': Invalid argument

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

A search on google brings up this issue, which is similar. Essentially, they were having issues because the folder name 'aux' was reserved for some reason. The issue here is that the folder '24:24:^:' contains the ^ character, which isn't allowed in a folder name on Windows.

Is it possible to rename the folder?

Sorry about that! That directory should have never been checked in in the first place. It gets created as a cache for thumbnails, and should have been created in a .gitignored directory in my local checkout.

Additionally, https://github.com/mnutt/davros/commit/0b860ea7413b46cb2cc059b156264166e1cec5e1 updates davros to use windows-friendly filenames for its thumbnail caches.

Thanks for the fast response! Cloning works just fine now. :)
