    Limit length of wiki file/directory names · 76c643a7

    Many common file systems have a limit of 255 bytes for file and
    directory names, and while Git and GitLab both support paths exceeding
    those limits, the presence of them makes it impossible for users on
    those file systems to checkout a wiki repository locally.
    
    To avoid this situation, we enforce these limits when editing pages
    through the GitLab web interface and API:
    
    - 245 bytes for page titles (reserving 10 bytes for the file extension)
    - 255 bytes for directory names
