(Typically nobody (tm) here on the list opens a web-browser to look at external material, so here is a shortened version of the pastebin:) error: unable to create file crypto_stream/lexv2/e/v2/schwabe/sparc-2/e/aux.c: No such file or directory error: unable to create file crypto_stream/lexv2/e/v2/schwabe/sparc-2/e/aux.s: No such file or directory Segmentation fault: 99% (26526/26793) There are actually 2 problems: - The filenames named aux.c It could be that git -c core.longpaths=true clone xxx works, but I don't have a Windows box to test at the moment- - The crash Which Git version do you use?
