Jenkins job failing with Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: checkout -f returned status code -1

I am running Jenkins on windows and trying to download the code from Git through jenkins, the following error occurs. I tried configuring the "Additional Behaviours" to 'Advance clone behaviours' with options - 'shallow clone' and 'Timeout (in minutes) for clone and fetch operations :60' but still the job is failing with below error

Checking out Revision c340e8f017689f723b19c2b479d7db7c3e66591d (origin/develop)

I followed @dildeepak advice and I found that my problem was git was complaining on long file names. 

stdout: 
stderr: error: unable to create file Referenced Packages/CloudSense Contract Lifecycle Management Data Model/layouts/Document_Template_Section_Association__c-Document Template%2FSection Association 
Layout.layout: Filename too long

To find out what the root cause for your problem is, do the following

Stop Jenkins

Edit

JENKINS_INSTALL_FOLDER/jenkins.xml

Add -Dhudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.verbose=true to <arguments> tag

<arguments>...... -Dhudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.verbose=true</arguments>

Start Jenkins

Now run your build job, and look at the console output for more detailed error message. You will spot the root cause.
