Hi Everyone,
I'm seeing this issue on Windows: https://pastebin.com/YfB25E4T . It
seems the filename AUX is the culprit. Also see
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031022-00/?p=42073 .
(Thanks to Milleneumbug on Stack Overflow).
I did not name the file, someone else did. I doubt the filename will be changed.
Searching is not turning up much information:
https://www.google.com/search?q=git+"magic+filenames"+windows
Does anyone know how to sidestep the issue on Windows?
Jeff

Thanks for the report.
(Typically nobody (tm) here on the list opens a web-browser to look at external
material, so here is a shortened version of the pastebin:)
error: unable to create file crypto_stream/lexv2/e/v2/schwabe/sparc-2/e/aux.c: No such file or directory
error: unable to create file crypto_stream/lexv2/e/v2/schwabe/sparc-2/e/aux.s: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault: 99% (26526/26793)
There are actually 2 problems:
- The filenames named aux.c
It could be that git -c core.longpaths=true clone xxx
works, but I don't have a Windows box to test at the moment-
- The crash
Which Git version do you use?
It may be a good idea to report it here

Thanks. This did not help.

This comes up on the Git-for-Windows (GfW) issues fairly often
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues.
The fetch part of the clone is sucessful, but the final checkout step fails
when the AUX (or any other prohibited filename - that's proper cabkward
compatibility for you) is to be checked out then the file system (FS)
refuses and the checkout 'fails. You do however have the full repo locally.
The trick is probably then to set up a sparse checkout so the AUX is never
included on the FS.
However it is an open 'up-for-grabs' project to add such a check in GfW.

One option maybe to extend the $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout capability and
add a specific $GIT_DIR/info/never-sparse-checkout file that could carry the
complement (files & dirs) options that are platform applicable (no AUX, no
COM1, no colons, etc.;-), so that it does not conflict with the users'
regular sparse checkout selection in $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout. It's
probably easier to understand that way.
