Dear Appveyor team,

Since some time I get cryptic error:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/grzanka/pytrip/build/1.0.862/job/1jad02rgwrn67x33
set PATH=%PYTHON_ROOT%;%PYTHON_ROOT%\Scripts;%PATH%
set PATH=%MINICONDAPATH%\Scripts;%PATH%
git config --system http.sslcainfo "C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs\ca-bundle.crt"
python -V
Python 3.5.3
python -c "import struct;print(8 * struct.calcsize('P'))"
64
git clone -q --branch=feature/327-appveyor-test https://github.com/pytrip/pytrip.git C:\projects\pytrip
error: unable to create file pytrip/models/aux.py: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to checkout working tree
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'
Command exited with code 128

I was trying to figure out what is going on by connecting via RDP to VM, but the connection fails.

What could be the reason of this problem ? Lack of disk space ?

Best regards,
Leszek

   Hi Leszek,

   It's regression in Git 2.12.0: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/1428

   We are going to deploy Git 2.12.1 fixing that issue in the coming days, but for temp workaround please add this to your appveyor.yml:

   init:
   - ps: iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appveyor/ci/master/scripts/install-git-2.12.1.ps1'))

   Hi Feodor,

   After applying your fix the problem still exists, see

   Build started
   iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appveyor/ci/master/scripts/install-git-2.12.1.ps1'))

   Looks like your issue is unrelated to Git 2.12.0 regression. I've tried cloning your repo on "previous" build worker image with Git 2.11.0 and if also failed.

   Additionally, it fails to clone on my local machine with Git 2.7.1 - see attached screenshot.
