Ok . Thanks for confirming what I suspected.

I have done the rename as you suggest with success , for this particular
branch, I guess I'll 'burn' the other branches when I come to them!

Learn from my mistake #2:
Don't try to name a subdirectory 'aux' either, if you ever want to
checkout on Microsoft Windows ! I have never seen any documetnation of
this, but I observed that Microsoft Windows does not allow creation of a
directory called 'aux', failing in cryptic manner.

Cygwin$ mkdir aux
mkdir: cannot create directory `aux': Not a directory
