When cloning git repo under Windows I get "error: unable to create file <file>... (Is a directory)"
git, msysgit, windows
Solution
I think the trouble is this file here in you repo: https://github.com/kennethreitz/httpbin/blob/master/httpbin/templates/...
`...` is not a valid filename under windows
In order to get the repo, clone without checking out files (with `-n` flag):
`git clone -n git://repo`
Then you could use a `sparse-checkout` to get all file but `...`, or you could only `git checkout` file you actually need.
Problem
``` Z:\>git clone git://github.com/kennethreitz/httpbin.git Cloning into 'httpbin'... remote: Counting objects: 1073, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (401/401), done. remote: Total 1073 (delta 672), reused 1045 (delta 651) Receiving objects: 100% (1073/1073), 114.42 KiB | 128 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (672/672), done. error: unable to create file httpbin/templates/... (Is a directory) ``` git version 1.8.0.msysgit.0, Windows Vista SP2 x64 What's wrong?
