Description

Hi, I ran into a specific problem when cloning where the file has a name that contains the parameter.

Here you can see the error in more detail if you expand the Checking out the ref item

Error: error: invalid path 'test/img/111x52.png?2'

such a file exists with exactly the same parameter.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Research direction

Start with the linked check run, expanding “Checking out the ref item” to confirm the reported invalid-path failure for test/img/111x52.png?2. Then trace the checkout action’s handling of this path on Windows and establish a reproducible test or documented limitation as the completion criterion.
