Git Dependency fails to install when space exists in User Folder name #2015
I have a user folder that has a space in it eg: C:\Users\Firstname Lastname
Git dependency resolution fails when attempting to clone from C:\Users\Firstname Lastname.paket\git\db\folder into the paket-files folder.
It correctly fetches the repository from a remote github based repo into C:\Users\Firstname Lastname.paket\git\db\folder
Repro steps
Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem
Create a User with a Space in their User name, this will create a User folder that contains a space
Paket failed with:
Checkout to C:\Working\MySolution\MyProject\paket-files\github.com\MyOrganisation\MyRepo failed.
Message: Could not run "git clone file:///C:\Users\Firstname Lastname.paket\git\db\MyRepo".
Error:
Cloning into 'Lastname.paket\git\db\MyRepo'...
fatal: 'C:/Users/Firstname' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I've created a test repo - https://github.com/wzowee/paket-test and stuck the Serilog nuget package in the root which you could use to test the pulling down from a git source.
Just to be clear the issue is with the name of the User folder on a Windows machine if this name has a space in it then the clone from the .paket folder with the user folder fails.
Windows username with a space is basically asking for trouble ;) @forki Try to add some special characters as well, heard lots of funny stories in the past.
