This issue is now being reported by more users inside MS. I'll also reach out to the Git for Windows advocacy group to see if they have any ideas. I have not had time to figure out the inner workings of Tcl/Tk. Is there any way to turn on tracing/logging in Git for which commands are being called

Will try to reply in-line, when appropriate. The latest snapshot (git version 2.20.1.windows.1.5.g6b286585b1) still has the issue. - Bret On Wed, Jan 9, 2019 at 10:39 AM Johannes Schindelin wrote: > > Hi Bret, > > > On Thu, 3 Jan 2019, Bret Barkelew wrote: > > > They are the exact same path (wi

They are the exact same path (with a different drive letter). Another thing I've been able to confirm is I uninstalled git 2.20.1 and installed 2.19.0 on the failing system, and the older version of Git works. I've also tried a suggested fix I saw elsewhere to enable long path names in the Windows

2019-01-03 Thread Bret Barkelew
When I open gitk in a particular repository under this version of Git for Windows, I now get a dialog box that says "Error: couldn't execute "git": file name too long". I've noticed that the most pronounced effect is that I cannot see the file diffs (or sometimes the file name list) for any of the
