- Subject: Long filename support, soon?
I've been running into problems with rsync and "too long" filenames.
I've done the searching and know that it's an issue with the cygwin
library not using the unicode system calls.
Is there a timetable for when this will be changed? I know it's a
pain, but so is not being able to use a lot of the great tools cygwin
provides because of this problem.
Anyway, just wanted to ask and also add my vote for support for this.
Thanks.
