Hi,

sorry for long delay, I was busy on some important project so far. However, we’ve found out really bad thing recently.

It certainly wouldn't work, since there’s limitation to 48 characters for filename in filesystem – it can be beaten up by changes in git index / pack / keep mechanism but it requires on-the-fly transformation when replicating a repository from / to other place. I've thought we would be able to implement such translation but what came up was its cost would be too high. It is definitely doable but for us it's currently the showstopper.
