Problem cloning repro in Windows 7

[EricE]

I tried installing this with cookiecutter but got an error:

cookiecutter gh:vintasoftware/cookiecutter-tapioca
...
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['git', 'clone', 'https://github.com/vintasoftware/cookiecutter-tapioca.git']' returned non-zero exit status 128

So I tried to clone it:

Cloning into 'cookiecutter-tapioca'...

Initial commit

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        cookiecutter-tapioca/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

I'm a hardware guy who has never used Git (or cookiecutter) so not sure if it is supposed to manipulate 'tapioca_{{cookiecutter.service_name|lower|replace(' ', '_')}}' but otherwise it isn't a legal Windows filename (|).
This looks like it might be templating for cookiecutter but it is leaking thorough to Git? I was able to install:
C:\GitRepo>cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git

I'm trying to run this in an Anaconda env with Python 3.6 but I also tried it in my default Python 2.7.10 and get the same error.

Hey, thanks for reaching. I don't use Windows so not sure what might be going on. The error seems to be happening during the git clone command. So maybe an issue with the directory naming. Not sure how to proceed :/

Just for documentation, here is discussion at the cookiecutter repo: cookiecutter/cookiecutter#943 (comment)
