And just to add to this - I just did a git clone (git clone g...@github.com <mailto:g...@github.com>:pharo-project/pharo.git) in a fresh directory and can see that same deleted file - and when I try to do a checkout, it gives the path spec error.
This is very weird - is it some osx thing? I will try it on ubuntu - but I feel I must be missing something, like do I need a different prefix on path names (but you didn’t seem to need one)? I’d be very worried if git is acting up… but I still suspect user error here.
