Hi, I have some paths that are long. I am providing an example that is 268 bytes long (sorry about the line wrapping):
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/yjongkind/My Documents/src/tlm/clients/SNSMR/RMV/Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase IV/.svn/props/sys_testplan_customer_and_other_B.wpd.svn-work This path works fine with 'native' windows commands and under Linux. However under cygwin they appear to exceed max path. I know it's probably a big deal. But I think that MAXPATH (in it's many forms) should be extended in Cygwin. What follows is some evidence that the error is not exclusive to svn (subversion) but to many applications: SVN $ svn status svn: Can't stat 'Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase IV/.svn/props/sys_testplan_customer_and_other_B.wpd.svn-work': File name too long FIND $ find Assets/RMV\ Technical\ Documentation/Projects/C490735\ -\ Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System\ Testing/Accept\ Testing/P hase\ IV/ -exec echo -n . \; ......find: Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Pha se IV/.svn/prop-base/Client Verification Screens.qpw.svn-base: File name too long .find: Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase IV /.svn/prop-base/sys_testplan_customer_and_other_B.wpd.svn-base: File name too long .find: Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase IV /.svn/props/Client Verification Screens.qpw.svn-work: File name too long .find: Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase IV /.svn/props/sys_testplan_customer_and_other_B.wpd.svn-work: File name too long ..find: Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase I V/.svn/text-base/Client Verification Screens.qpw.svn-base: File name too long .find: Assets/RMV Technical Documentation/Projects/C490735 - Personalized_Plates_MTC/New_V2.0/System Testing/Accept Testing/Phase IV /.svn/text-base/sys_testplan_customer_and_other_B.wpd.svn-base: File name too long .........

I am aware of 2 work-arounds (move the files closer to c:\ and, what I am presently doing, which is using the version of svn compiled for windows. Y.
