[JIRA] (JENKINS-15418) Git fails to clean windows workspace with long path

[markewa...@java.net (JIRA)]

markewaite commented on JENKINS-15418 Git fails to clean windows workspace with long path We've seen a general problem on Windows file systems with paths which exceed about 250 characters. The problems were visible in our MSBuild scripts and affected other programs as well. We finally decided that it was not worth fighting what appeared to be Microsoft file system limitations, so we forced ourselves to use shorter paths. The sample path in your output is longer than 250 characters, so you may be encountering the same problem we encountered. You might find Jeff Attwood's comments on the topic interesting. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/11/filesystem-paths-how-long-is-too-long.html
