Hi,

I have a problem. I've created a repository and when I try to clone it from netbeans under windows it gives me an IOException complaint that he can't delete directory X. I can do it fine from command line (linux) and the same development build from netbeans mac.

While investigating I found that there was a file named \\ under the X directory when I created the repository in the first place. I've successfully removed (rm and git commit / git push) but still the netbeans under windows does not work with the same exception.

Any ideas?

Do I have to somehow nuke this file from the git repository so the IDE does not try to fetch it?
