Hello, I am back in this thead on 28 february 2022. I read that linux will soon move to a new compiler/c language version, from C89 to C11 so I thought I would try again to checkout the linux kernel so that I can see what it looks like.
But surprise surprise, it fails again. This time I record it on video, since nowadays I have streaming software on this 6 GB RAM toshiba laptop that can stream directly to youtube saving me a lot of time. So it turns out that 3 files cannot be checked out because they start with the filename: "aux" and this is forbidden on windows 7 at least and also windows 10 according to other people. Link to youtube video that shows the problem at timestamp 8 minutes and 20 seconds: https://youtu.be/n15JnFgaxKs I think this is what might have happened the first time I tried this, making me believe it may have been some out of memory situation or maybe I was running a virtual machine and the memory was divided in two pieces 3 gigabyte each. But this time the laptop had 6 GB of RAM. Still 2 gigabyte free when this error occured. So I no longer believe it's an out of memory situation, but something entirely else. Some kind of bug possibily deep within git, git may have to work around this and simply skip over files that have illegal file names on windows. or should try and rename it. Anyway is there a solution that would allow me to checkout most of it ? Cause I just want to have a looksy that is all for now.
