Description

When trying to clone on Windows I receive the following error:

$ git clone https://github.com/rstudio/ShinyDeveloperConference.git
Cloning into 'ShinyDeveloperConference'...

fatal: cannot create directory at 'Modules/Exercise-1/solution': Invalid argument*
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

We can't have folder names with * on it.
