From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> PNPM is apparently creating deeply nested (but ignored) directory structures; traversing them is costly performance-wise, unnecessary, and in some cases is even throwing warnings/errors because the paths are too long to handle on various platforms. Add a testcase that demonstrates this problem.
