Make sure to use the latest Git for Windows, and, as mentioned in "Filename too long in git for windows"

git config --system core.longpaths true

Then try to clone again.

The alternative would be to use a subst Y: C:\path\to\arent\folder, switch to the Y: drive, and clone from there. But with recent msys2 shell, that should not be needed anymore.
