When trying to clone this repository on windows I get the following error:

kamik@T460p MINGW64 /d/sandbox
$ git clone https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin
Cloning into 'copy-webpack-plugin'...

fatal: cannot create directory at 'tests/helpers/[special?directory]': Invalid argument
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'

I think the real error is:

fatal: cannot create directory at 'tests/helpers/[special?directory]': Invalid argument

The special character ? is not permitted in windows directories.
