Hi, I have the issue below. After cloning, repo is unusable.
C:\prj\cl>git clone git://support.criticallink.com/home/git/linux-socfpga.git

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'
C:\prj\cl>cd linux-socfpga
C:\prj\cl\linux-socfpga>git restore --source=HEAD :/

Hello,
If you are working in windows (windows command shell), you will probably have problems as the linux repository uses logical links, etc. I don't think you can checkout and build linux on a windows NTFS or FAT32/64 filesystem.
I would recommend using windows subsystem for linux (WSL2) and installing a LTS support version of ubuntu and cloning under a linux ext2/3/4 filesystem.
With regards,
Mike

Also,
I just tested running the commands listed here with the following version of git. No issues....
What version of git are you using?

Hi Mike,
I tried it in Ubuntu via WSL and yes, it works.
My nonworking windows command window git version is:
git --version
git version 2.38.1.windows.1
I also tried running it via windows powershell and it failed as well.
Running it in WSL/Ubuntu is good enough for me. Thank you for your help.
