To reproduce, install git on Windows, and try cloning the EasyTomato repo. It will hit errors that appear to be related to invalid file names. See the command line log below.

Windows does not allow file names containing the colon character: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177506

If the project does not wish to support collaborators who are Windows developers, then it would be helpful if there were a disclaimer to that effect featured prominently in the README or project description.
