Describe the bug

I have a fresh installation of neovim and I just cloned modular kickstart from https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim but I was having problems with treesitter installation. So I removed nvim-data as well as deleted the config and cloned the og config from this repo but still I am having the problems. All of this was working fine on my prevous windows 10 os and on mint os. But now I am getting these errors

nvim-treesitter[luadoc (or any language)] Error during compilation
nvim-treesitter[1/11, failed: 1] Checking out locked revision

To Reproduce

1. We windows 10 machine
2. install neovim
3. git clone this repo
4. get treesitter installation errors.

• OS: Windows 10
• Terminal: Windows 10 default command prompt

TSUpdate didn't help...

According to #1732 (comment), configs.lua has been renamed to config.lua,
so main = nvim-treesitter.configs
needs to be renamed to main = nvim-treesitter.config.

I’m guessing this is what caused the issue.

I also encountered another problem where the git parser didn’t work properly.
Switching to curl with the following setting fixed it:

require('nvim-treesitter.install').prefer_git = false

I’m not sure whether either of these solutions will work for you.
If not, I recommend creating a discussion in the nvim-treesitter repository.

Hi, for me I don't know why nvim wasn't able to find any of my c/c++ compiler, msvc, gcc or clang although all of them were in system path. Set CC=gcc solved it.
