Describe the bug
When I clone the repository on Windows, I get 3 errors saying "symlinkTargetLength: symlink target too long"

I've tried cloning using SSH and HTTPS and get the same issue both times.

To Reproduce
On Windows:

$ git clone git@github.com:AcademySoftwareFoundation/xstudio.git
Cloning into 'xstudio'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 13569, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (3784/3784), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2140/2140), done.
Receiving objects: 100% (13569/13569), 77.23 MiB | 15.77 MiB/s, done.

fatal: fsck error in pack objects
fatal: index-pack failed

Expected behavior
I would have expected this to clone the repository
