git clone error

Continue with closed issue #3017

Tried from another network - same problem.

Tried to clone linux not recursive fron antsdr-fw-patch repo but recursive from plutosdr-fw. Got the following:

From https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux

• branch f3da30d -> FETCH_HEAD
  error: invalid path 'drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/i2c/aux.c'
  fatal: Unable to checkout 'f3da30df60047dc5a0b8fa8c640be774e0f784d9' in submodule path 'plutosdr-fw/linux'
  fatal: Failed to recurse into submodule path 'plutosdr-fw'

Tried to clone linux repo separately (main branch!), got the following output:

$ git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux.git

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

And then

$ git restore --source=HEAD :/
error: invalid path 'drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/i2c/aux.c'
error: invalid path 'drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/i2c/aux.h'
error: invalid path 'include/soc/arc/aux.h'

These files on webpage are on path and accessible. But something is still wrong with the repo.

Can you expand on what you are doing? What are the steps that generate this error?

Just tried fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (minimal, without extra soft, packages etc.)
Git clone completed successfully.

Once again rebooted to Window 10, and using MINGW64 git bash terminal got the same problem:

enkov.d@enkov MINGW64 /
$ cd c:/projects

enkov.d@enkov MINGW64 /c/projects

So I do nothing but git clone on Windows using Git for windows (Git-2.38.1-64-bit), from my home desktop and from my workplace desktop.

As far as I remember first time problem appeared on Ubuntu on my laptop at home - will try again later today.
(linux was cloned recursively from Antsdr-fw-patch repository by MicroPhase).

Cloning a Linux kernel doesn't really work on Windows. You'll need to use a Linux box.

OK, I got it.
Not with git-bash, not even through ssh.
