Trying to clone from a bare, GIT-flow enabled repository "origin" everyone here gets that error message (see "Error" attachment). Happens if we use the same network-drive, as shown in the screenshot.

We found that it works the moment we choose different network drive letters at source and destination path textboxes (see "workaround" attachment). Order doesn't matter, we could swap these paths and it would still work.

Please note that technically drive "P:\" and "F:\SOFTDEV\" is the very same directory. "P:\" is only a shortcut using those windows network drives...
