Got a new laptop, installed Acquia devDesktop, added my ssh key, refreshed Acquia Cloud sites, (for those unaware, Acquia devDesktop is just a lamp stack specific for Drupal)when I "Cloned dev site to local" i get the attached error.

I have googled around and have not found a reference to this error - Does anyone have any insight/assistance in resolving this?

I was able to clone the dev site to my local on my temporary laptop just two weeks ago without issue. Any suggestions, assistance would be greatly appreciated.

i took a shot and uninstall, then reinstalled, but receiving same error. Rolled back to the version installed on my previous laptop, same error.

Acquia mentions it may use libgit2 to communicate with Acquia Git repositories.

And parent is not a directory is more a libgit2 error message, as seen in libgit2/libgit2sharp issue 846.

The message does appear odd, I suspect it's as an effect of the implementation details for creating references.

What this message seems to indicate is that there is some reference already there which is a prefix of the path leading up to the one we are trying to create. The Git system cannot cope with this, but we should be providing a much better error message.

So check if you have a tag or branch named "release" already in your repo.
