I am trying to sync remote repo with local repo but getting following errors. Some files (which have not extention) are not getting sync with local repo on WINDOWS machine, but I could sync successfully on MAC machine.Is there any configuration settings in WINDOWS to handle such case?Using TortoiseGitWindows 7 64 bit machineERROR DETAILSgit.exe clone --progress -v "https://github.com/xxxx/xxxxx.git" "C:\Data\GitHub\simility\vishesh-common"Cloning into 'C:\Data\GitHub\simility\vishesh-common'...POST git-upload-pack (200 bytes)remote: Counting objects: 3912, done.remote: Compressing objects: 100% (487/487), done.Receiving objects: 100% (3912/3912), 2.70 MiB | 567.00 KiB/s, done.Resolving deltas: 100% (1578/1578), done.remote: Total 3912 (delta 409), reused 0 (delta 0)Checking connectivity... error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030050305_fantasy-trilogy-spin?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030295038_laser-dogs?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030315317_arizona-native-bird-painting-series?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030315317_native-birds-ii?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030552097_ikeyboard-0?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030552097_ikeyboard?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030552097_only-you-can-prevent-computercide?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030552097_vector-cupholder-protect-your-laptop-and-your-lap?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_103055429_death-of-an-angel?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030650665_rachel-vanslyke-making-a-new-record-together-we-ca?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1030835091_russian-trucks-of-world-war-two?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1031873800_prop-expansion-next-level?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1031873800_prop-project-expansion?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1099860912_yaw-clock?ref=users (Invalid argument)error: unable to create file kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/_projects_1099992656_heavenly-sight-a-vision-out-of-blindness?ref=users (Invalid argument)fatal: unable to checkout working treewarning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status' and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (21746 ms @ 29-09-2014 13:32:13) asked Sep 29, 2014 at 10:19 I ran into the same problem, but wasn't willing to rename or delete these files. So here's a workaround in case you can live without accessing those files using a sparse-checkout:Go to the .git folder in your repo and open the file config. (You can also edit your configuration using tortoise-git, but I havn't got it installed here.) In the [core]section add the linesparsecheckout = truethen go to the folder .git/info and create the file sparse-checkout. Add something like*!kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/*The first line includes everything, while the second excludes all files in kickstarter/parsers/data/kickstarter/campaigndetails/. You should now be able to checkout the repo. Using wild-cards you can probably do more sophisticated excludes. answered Dec 29, 2015 at 17:26 MortyMorty3,2292 gold badges21 silver badges29 bronze badges 3 If I read that log well, those files have names that end with "?ref=users"Windows does not allow you to have a '?' in a filename, just like it does not allow to have a "" or "*". Under Linux it is possible, if you escape those characters. On Windows, I think it's not possible at all. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247You will have a hard time with such names.. I actually can't come up with any idea that would allow you to sync
