This is great news!

I had tons of problems last year with that and I did not know what to do
about this.

A possible solution would have been to rewrite a bit the filetree support so that it could load packages directly from the zip archive downloaded from github, instead of unpackaging it to disk.

But... pushing for the windows vm so that it would use the right API is a lot better :)

Thanks Nicolai,

    For those who had problems with pharo on windows and github based
    repositories,
    I built a windows vm with support for long paths:

    For browsing directories with large paths (FileList or Inspect),
    you may need one additional change in the image (But I am not really
    sure about that) :

    DiskStore>>initialize
         super initialize.
         maxFileNameLength := Smalltalk vm maxFilenameLength ifNil: [
    32767 ].


    please test and give feedback.

    This wasn't as easy as I thought, and I had to make some more changes
    for the file permissions (the stat-functions don't work for files
    with long paths).
    Please test other file/folder operations.
