Windows filename length limit

[Alex Postnikov <pa...@comindwork.com>]

Hi everyone!

It seems like I'm running into trouble with Windows limit on 'file path'
length. 
(Someone here already said it's limited to 250 chars)

I have a SVN storage and try to update using Command Line SVN client. 

Has anyone invented any workaround for this problem? 


svn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run 'svn cleanup'
and 
try again 
svn: Can't open file 'SLAVYANSKIY\@___________ ___\____________\________ _
_____
_____\___ _____\1_ _______\Satisfaction (Feldman and Bank Slavyansky v.
Ukraine)
\_______ Satisfaction\.svn\tmp\text-base\__________ ______.pdf.svn-base': 
The system cannot find the path specified.

(I'm using Subversion command-line client, version 1.4.6.)

Thanks!
Alex Postnikov

That's true, except that the APR library on which Subversion is based
is able to work around that limitation if you use absolute paths, ie

 C:\Really\Long\Path> svn ci -m "" C:\Really\Long\Path

HTH,

Erik.

I believe the Windows limit applies to API path parameters.  If you CD to the directory that you want to commit and run the command from there it should work.

Something like:-
CD really\long\path
svn commit . -m "Some message"

I've ran into this problem before, I think the MAX_PATH system constant is 260 for a file name and 248 for a directory.
