Problem with : !python -m spacy project clone tutorials/ner_fashion_brands

[herringbone64]

Hi There,
I installed spaCy v3.0.6 successfully, but run into the following when I try to run "!python -m spacy project clone tutorials/ner_fashion_brands". Any idea on what might be the problem?

Sorry you're having trouble with this. What version of git are you using? It looks like the -C version hasn't always been in git, but based on what I can find online it was already included in versions released in 2014. You can check your version with git --version.

It sounds like maybe you have a very old version of git or maybe a build on a platform we haven't run into that has different options.
