What on earth is Linuxish about it? Files and directories exist on
Windows, too, it doesn't matter what the names are. If you can't
extrapolate instructions to your specific OS, you'll have no end of
trouble using any tool that works with files and directories ...

That does not matter. The point is that you check out an empty tree in
the repository over an existing tree in your local filesystem and that
will magically create a working copy with no versioned objects in it.
