Cannot clone the aports git repository on windows
I am on occasional contributor and I sometimes work from a Windows machine. Currently, it's not possible to clone the repository on Windows:
PS C:\Users\sprat\Dev\oss> git clone git@gitlab.alpinelinux.org:alpine/aports.git

warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'
I guess it's due to the name "nul" which is a special "thing" on Windows.
