I got this issue due to how many levels deep (length) my folders were. The path name was too long and git couldn't handle it, so I took the folder and threw it on my C: and everything started working fine. Check to see if your folder structure is too long. Ex:

C:/folder1/folder2/folder3/..../folder99/file.txt

above is too long, try to make it much shorter. Something like C:/folder1/folder2/file.txt (For all files in the repo) and this should fix the issue.
