Details
While there was msysgit#122, some git commands still don't work correctly with long paths under Windows.
I found problems with 2 commands:
git init
- error, when current directory name + filename became longer than MAX_PATHgit push
to (bare) repository located in local directory
Working examples:
https://gist.github.com/grv87/90e72ac5d6b5964f16c3de6f1ec4fb05
(Written in Go, since it is one of few languages that correctly works with Windows long paths, since Go 1.8).
Run with:
go run test-init.go
go run test-push.go
- What actually happened instead?
For init
:
fatal: unable to access 'q:/Temp/Basil/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/config': Filename too long
2018/06/07 00:54:02 exit status 128
For push
:
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
