0.1801.621.0

Windows build number

10.0.26290.5000

Other software

OS Build Version: 10.0.26290.5000.amd64fre.ge_current_directadept.240911-1743

Steps to reproduce the bug

In Dev Home on the Environments page:

1. Choose a Microsoft Dev Box image and select the 'Set up' option
2. Clone https://github.com/microsoft/devhomeazureextension
3. Specify C:\users<username>\source\repos as the destination directory on the Dev Box

Expected result

The repository is cloned to that location on the Microsoft Dev Box

Actual result

When I check the expected location of the repository, there's an extra folder in the path matching the name of the repository (i.e., it is cloned to C:\users<username>\source\repos\devhomeazureextension\devhomeazureextension).

In my case I see the redundant folder with the .git extension

@dhoehna could you help us better understand this design decision?

This isn't a design decision. This should not happen.

I can check out why this is happening.

@adrastogi does this behavior repro with other repositories, or just DevHomeAzureExtension?
