how to checkout freebsd ports on windows
Raw
checkout freebsd ports on windows.txt
Windows has problems with files containing special characters so some files cannot be checked out.
To work around most of the problems with this a sparse checkout can be done.
This does asume you dont need to patch those specific files as that wont work this way...
Enable sparse-checkout:
git config core.sparsecheckout true
Make a file .git\info\sparse-checkout with the folowing content:
!japanese/prn
!*:*
!/*:*
