"You must type a file name" error thrown, when I create a .gitignore file on Windows
<p>When I try to do this, I get the following error:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IJxts.png"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IJxts.png" alt="gitignore error"></a></p>

<p>Obviously, Windows Explorer doesn't allow me to create this type of file patterns. How can I overcome this problem?</p>
