A shorter-term goal is to set a path limit config on trees inside the repo, so people on Linux won't accidentally make paths longer than the limit their Windows fellows have. I think it would be easy to do the check around index (old trees in repo are left alone, inspecting history does not have such a limit). -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
