The 'Icon?' shows up as a trailing CR in the github repo:

Chris means this (notice '\r' at the end of the file name):

v037 - auto-write of dynamic alert notification html to local file

There appears to be an open PR fixing this [1].

In the mean time, if you *must* work with the repo somehow, you can prevent
Git from automatically checking out the "master" branch after cloning:

git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/acroyogi/vigil
cd vigil
git checkout 167b831ec7~

which will check out the immediate parent of the offending commit.
