trying to clone tidal-doc to have an offline copy for an extended period without internet access, encountering this error:

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

question marks are illegal in windows file paths, somehow they show up in the wiki export files though. a workaround is to download as .zip and extract, which is fine for my use case (as an offline reference) but i suppose this will prevent windows users from participating via pull requests etc

I have faced the same issue. I also think there might be files with really long paths and files that only differ in casing, which both can cause issues on Windows. I went for using WSL2 since cleaning this up seemed substantial.

I did a bunch of cleanup for this a while ago with #105

This should now be as simple as just renaming the offending files by substituting the funky characters. I can certainly take a look when I have a moment

There are no more file names AFAIK containing ? characters in the repo so this can be closed: 

find . -iname '*\?*' # reports nothing

Thanks for the reminder, I'm pretty sure I'd taken care of it all - closing
