Description
Running
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/microsoft/SPTAG
It ends with an error
.....
Submodule path 'ThirdParty/spdk/ocf': checked out '4477cb55a0bcd313a5ebcfdf877ca76a31695df7'
error: invalid path 'python/xnvme-core/aux/patch_ctypes_bindings.py'
fatal: Unable to checkout '59cca28a61ae3154ba1731ca2ee7daa402ec5e2e' in submodule path 'ThirdParty/spdk/xnvme'
fatal: Failed to recurse into submodule path 'ThirdParty/spdk'
My git version is git version 2.52.0.windows.1
Interesting that cloning under WSL succeeds.
git version 2.43.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the command git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/microsoft/SPTAG with Git 2.52.0 on Windows. Inspect the ThirdParty/spdk/xnvme submodule and the reported python/xnvme-core/aux/patch_ctypes_bindings.py path, then compare the behavior with the stated WSL result. Done means the repository and its submodules can be checked out successfully in PowerShell.
