According to Tomasz Chmielewski on 4/1/2008 6:15 AM: | In Windows, path can have only up to 260 characters.
In Windows, the ASCII functions can only handle up to 260 characters. But the Unicode functions handle more. You may be interested in trying a snapshot, where longer filenames are (mostly) supported,
and in particular, your use case of rsync with names longer than 260 characters should work using POSIX-style paths.
