git clone warning: failed to restrict file handles

From the windows CLI, i run

git clone https://github.com/jef ...

It seems to clone the repository, but not without warnings, and I'm not sure if I should be concerned. This is a second development machine. The original was pushed from another.

This is the output:

C:\python-projects>git clone https://github.com/jeffplata/by-examp...

Cloning into 'by-example-account'...
warning: failed to restrict file handles (1450)

I'm using Windows 7, git version 2.16.3.windows.1

(this is a django project repo)

What is causing this behavior? Is something broken from the repository source or clone?

From this bountysource (and PR 1595), this might have been fixed in 2.17.

So first, make sure to upgrade to the latest Git for Windows to see if the issue persists.

The OP JeffP confirms in the comments:

Works:

C:\python-projects>git clone github.com/jeffplata/by-ex
   Cloning into 'by-example-account'... 
   remote: Counting objects: 52, done. 
   remote: Compressing objects: 100% (38/38), done. 
   remote: Total 52 (delta 11), reused 50 (delta 9), pack-reused 0 
           Unpacking objects: 100% (52/52), done. 

C:\python-projects>git version git version 2.17.0.windows.1
