    I think the trouble is this file here in you repo: https://github.com/kennethreitz/httpbin/blob/master/httpbin/templates/…

    ... is not a valid filename under windows

    In order to get the repo, clone without checking out files (with -n flag):

    git clone -n git://repo

    Then you could use a sparse-checkout to get all file but ..., or you could only git checkout file you actually need.
