AFAIK, there's no clean/easy way to make use of "extended" Windows API which requires mangling filenames by adding the "\\?\" to them. You could read [1] for more details. So it seems you have two options for now: * Restructure the project. * Use Git under Cygwin [2] which might not have this limitation (personally, I do not know whether it does). P.S. Please next time you ask consider doing two things: * If you post your message to several groups, take care to mention this fact in each of them. * Do not require anyone to do anything "ASAP" unless this claim is backed by your or your employer's wallet. 1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247#maxpath 2. http://cygwin.com/packages/git/ -- 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
