Oops, I misreported while trying to minimize my reproduction
Here's an accurate bug report
git properly handles this:
git add C:\full\path\to\longname-repo\file
When the root of the repo root is `C:\full\path\to\longname-repo`
But it does not handle the equivalent 8.3 path:
git add C:\full\path\to\longna~1\file
