Issue with git while manually compiling on Windows

[Kamefrede]

Since there are no Windows binaries available and Travis doesn't seem to work for some reason, I took it upon myself to compile it ( I'd use JDK11 if I could, trust me ).

Everything works fine up until it gets to cloning the openJDK repo.
It roughly errors on this line https://github.com/TravaOpenJDK/openjdk-build/blob/28ab6a2b9bada4d4f30e3a49e3c966f266269025/sbin/prepareWorkspace.sh#L83 with the following message "fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/dev"

I could really appreciate some help or some pointers as to what I'm doing wrong since using DCEVM would really help me a lot and unfortunately as said earlier I can't really switch to JDK 11.

@Kamefrede do you mind letting me know if you manage to create a binary successfully?

Sure thing, although I've tried on another machine and have had no success yet but, I'll keep trying.

you are probably missing one of the variables which are set by .travis.yml
see lines 18-27: https://travis-ci.org/github/TravaOpenJDK/trava-jdk-8-dcevm/jobs/615908830

I'm not sure if "switching branches" works. when in doubt: start with a fresh git checkout
