Hello,

I wanted to copy my complete Linux GIT repo from Linux PC to Windows. I also wanted everything related to remote branches too, so need to copy and clone and fetch wouldn't work.

I don't have windows on same network, so i need to copy to memory stick and then to Windows PC.
After completing copy operation on mem stick, i found something strange.
- git branch shows correct results and is exactly same of state at Linux machine.
- git log is also fine.
- git status, shows me a lot of files are modified, which is not present in Linux.
- git reset --hard also doesn't work and fails with following error.

$ git reset --hard HEAD error: unable to create symlink arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts (Operation not permitted) Checking out files: 100% (36696/36696), done. fatal: Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD'.

Any help about this issue would be very helpful.
