Files and folder naming problems for Windows OS
Hi @gmouchard and @armand ,
- I was looking with @borjad that the process of cloning the pkm-api in a Windows environment fails due to a checkout error:

error: invalid path 'documentation/images/Thumbs.db:encryptable'
fatal: unable to checkout working tree
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'
Error is aiming to "documentation/images/Thumbs.db:encryptable" but maybe there are more errors with other files.
- Because cloning the project fails, @borjad tried to download the pkm-api as a ZIP file, and extract it into a Windows folder. But then a new problem appear with the folder:
https://gitlab.ow2.org/decoder/pkm-api/-/tree/master/documentation/workspace/common/aux
It seems that "aux" name does not fit with the Windows naming conventions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file?redirectedfrom=MSDN#naming_conventions
- Clone and deploy everything in a Ubuntu machine seems to work, but some files and folder naming are provoking problems if someone want to work with a Windows environment. I'm not sure if this should be solved or documented, but I open this issue to inform you :D
