One of the weirder issues I have opened I think but apparently Windows protects certain file names categorically, "aux" is among them. So when trying to clone this repo or add it to Julia Git throws an invalid path error

(ace) pkg> add https://github.com/ACEsuit/UltraFastACE.jl
    Updating git-repo `https://github.com/ACEsuit/UltraFastACE.jl`
ERROR: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:Checkout, cannot checkout to invalid path 'test/aux.jl')

Apparently a workaround used in the git community is to set

git config core.protectNTFS false

locally but maybe that isn't a good idea. 😂 Probably we just want to change the file name.

thanks for flagging this. When somebody gets a chance they should rename the file -> auxiliary or similar.
