AUX Folder and Git

Came across this one today, "aux" is a reserved folder name for folks using Windows

Typically, someone on a mac/linux might push this in a repo

When you try to checkout the branch containing the aux folder:

➜  my-repo git:(my_branch) ✗ git checkout branch_with_aux 
error: invalid path 'config/aux/README.md'
# fails switching branchs
➜  my-repo git:(my_branch) ✗

Fix:

git config core.protectNTFS false
