Hi, I had a file called \ under a directory scripts. I've removed, committed, pushed to the server BUT my windows clients when they try to clone I stop because of this. Don't ask me why and it is probably windows/the IDE fault but I have to solve it. I found the command filter but it is not working. git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached scripts/\\' HEAD Rewrite b75a1a3af45a4d82fcfe7a6148fc4d6e1c55ee91 (1/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 8a32d6194e9c46dc0f1ce60a2245fcbcd7c12d00 (2/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 892bba8bd7563186d7b1c493cf05d8823cfe2f7b (3/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 0be74d8143f670b08806510dd09cf77029f57bcb (4/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite ec7e45a5d8100b7a1e49ca8d0cf5ec5d638f2dd7 (5/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite c9dde5bf86391a66f80dc86bcc3078c78866b5da (6/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 499be785b2538a1d6b382e1a0d6e9bdc8a771a76 (7/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 327ac340d4dee02bc2bfed07bd94df5f87b8036c (8/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 5ae256edce2959585b2819c4d6d0d4704b02984a (9/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 3811ef08c5a2be9f4f049c50caf501944483ec72 (10/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 52b3de12d3cde4f6bb920d335fe8629d368d965b (11/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite ff115cd8f3213d8218d369361d5ee77010081c22 (12/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite d28c02b462e8ee70c6d516d7d2c6754b82bfc80e (13/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 173aecfa81f64644747934f815befb8f83daf6ce (14/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite d4649a98584c25c1c8d52adbd49d822c961dc7cb (15/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite d026354566abc0d135cdd3838fa96055baa29a03 (16/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 9f7869cf30bc0c04e072859bfbc1325758a5e893 (17/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 6058b6d0b783cd290ce78e344f442d161989b72d (18/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 7f7842d461a645223e39d5b6c451ec8b3e8f89a4 (19/48)rm 'scripts/\' Rewrite 11f9ad3c22746e4fddb407790eb0db4db709902d (20/48)fatal: pathspec 'scripts/\' did not match any files index filter failed: git rm --cached scripts/\ How can I really delete this without having to start from scratch?
