Repositories with deeply nested paths (e.g. Keycloak) fail to clone on Windows with 'Filename too long' because the working tree exceeds the 260-character MAX_PATH limit. Pass core.longpaths=true to git clone so it bypasses MAX_PATH; the flag is harmless on Linux/macOS. Also detect a partial checkout left behind by a previous failed clone and re-run checkout instead of silently scanning an incomplete tree.
