If I create a repository containing a file with a ~ in it in a subdirectory(note it only fails from within a subdirectory, not the root directory) I am unable to fully clone the repository using Git for Windows 1.95. If I downgrade to Git for Windows 1.90, I am able to clone it successfully.
A sample repo can be found here, https://github.com/mrawdon/BadTildeRepo I've included the console output below showing the issue using Windows Git 1.9.5 below /test/BadTildeRepo (master) $ git pull remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1/1), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 1), reused 3 (delta 1) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. >From https://github.com/mrawdon/BadTildeRepo d45221a..e007d59 master -> origin/master Updating d45221a..e007d59 error: Invalid path 'testDir/image~10.wmf' Fast-forward testDir/image~10.wmf | 0 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 testDir/image~10.wmf /test/BadTildeRepo (master) $ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
