It looks like a casing issue caused by `default-ref-format: files`.

``` $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -i sqlServerModuleImportM146 refs/remotes/origin/users/ajya/sqlServerModuleImportM146 refs/remotes/origin/users/ajya/sqlservermoduleimportM146 ```

You could try

``` $ git clone --ref-format=reftable https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks.git ```
