git repo cloned onto windows with files ending in period (.)

Our repo for our main application has files as such:

application_files/content/_a-blahblah/file.
application_files/content/_a-blahblah/file.

When cloning this repo to a windows machine, the files are deleted and replaced with:

application_files/content/_a-blahblah/file
application_files/content/_a-blahblah/file

As you can see, the period is removed from the end of the file name.

I am unsure how to solve this as it appears to be a windows issue with file names:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/naming-a-file#naming-conventions

Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period. Although the underlying file system may support such names, the Windows shell and user interface does not. However, it is acceptable to specify a period as the first character of a name. For example, ".temp".

Anyone have an appian application git repo cloned to a windows machine?
