Unable to switch to the RELENG_2_7_2 branch

Description
Hi,
I hope I am posting this in the right spot and hopefully someone can help me with this.
I am trying to switch to the RELENG_2_7_2 branch to hopefully get the zabbix commits to that branch. But everytime I try to switch I get errors from the japanese folder:
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/Makefile'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/distinfo'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-Makefile'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-cmt.c'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-cmt.h'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-cmt.jman'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-defs.c'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-euc.c'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-prn.c'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-prn.jman'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-psconv.c'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-psconv.jman'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/files/patch-reg.y'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/pkg-descr'
error: invalid path 'japanese/prn/pkg-plist'
It is correct that these files/folders do not exist in the devel branch, but why am I unable to switch to that branch?

You're probably checking out the tree on a Windows filesystem, and the repository is not compatible with that. Files in the repo contain names and characters which are not valid on Windows.

Ok, so if I try it on a Ubuntu virtual machine it should work?
