What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Create a repository containing some files.
- Checkout this repository using TortoiseGit into a very deep directory (longer than 260 characters).
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the checkout to succeed. Instead, it fails to checkout files whose length of path exceeds MAX_PATH=260.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
TortoiseGit 1.7.5.0
git version 1.7.7.1.msysgit.0
on Windows7 64 bit
