Power BI Git Clone Error Message: Unsupported Measure name has been found in data model schema.

I need help with this. I was getting the error because of a traling space in a column's name and now that's fixed but I am having some weird behaviour:

- Remote repository: if I download the .Dataset and .Report folder anywhere, it works

- Local repository: Fails

- If I copy the downloaded folders into the local repository they fail

- If I copy the local repo folders anywhere else they work.

The error doesn't say anything about a column now, but rather:
