Cannot clone repository on Windows

[oxillo]

Cloning of repository partly fails because of files with '::' in the name (e.g. ofLight::Data.markdown)

mmh, i need to check this, is not so easy as changing the filenames cause those files are autogenerated so we need to change the python scripts to parse this with an alternative filename

To clarify, all of the files except those with a filename containing the substring '::' are pulled but the clone itself fails on Windows. Windows does not allow the ':' character in a filename.

This is currently preventing Windows users from cloning this repository (and subsequently using a Git workflow to make contributions).

@L05 hmm.. have you tried git with WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux), not git for windows? you can use bash in linux on windows. so somehow you can easily fix this issue .

with WSL, I can cloning without issue.

interesting .. those files :: have are renamed. but it can read.
