Hi Hannes,
As you have expected, when I run that command,
git -p ls-tree -r origin/master > lll.txt
and redirect it to a log file, the log file does show some lines that have:
"public/images/tagging\rtagging/title_add_tags_to.png"
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for helping me in resolving the problem that I have
encountered with the git clone command on my PC Windows XP system. I'll
definitely ask my upstream to fix the
repository on that 'CR'. I'll also take a look at that "sparse checkout" that
you have mentioned.
Again, a big thank you for solving this perplexing problem, especially with the
print over log messages. You rock!!!
Hoca

Ok, download works as expected. You don't have to repeat these steps
anymore. Keep a copy of sss3\.git around so that you can go back to this
state when necessary.

The error message is this one:
cannot create directory at '%s'
Do you have a file/directory with a CR in it? When you run this:
git -p ls-tree -r origin/master
and look for public/images, do you see this:
"public/images/tagging\rtagging"
(including the double-quotes)? If so, ask your upstream to fix the
repository; you can't checkout the data as is on Windows.
Alternatively, you could use a sparse checkout that excludes the
questionable file. Read "Sparse checkout" in
