From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schinde...@gmx.de>
Without an error message when stat() failed, e.g. `git clean` would
abort without an error message, leaving the user quite puzzled.
In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is quite
small (yet there are ways to circumvent that limit in many cases), it is
very important that users be given an indication why their command
failed because of too long paths when it did.
This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have
helped the user who reported this issue:
