When does this happen?

IF Git clone fails on Windows with 'invalid path' error due to a repository containing a folder with a trailing space in its name.

How others solved it

THEN Use WSL to checkout the desired branch (e.g., `wsl -- git checkout main`). Alternatively, as a repository maintainer, remove the problematic folder from the repository to prevent future cloning issues.

wsl -- git checkout main
