SVN 255 character issue

I am using TortiseSVN and we have a problem exporting etc because subversion. The path has a 255 character limit - so I'm not sure if this is the problem [I think in Win7 x-64 bits]

How to fix it? those. allow paths for> 255 characters?

This is a Windows limitation, not a turtle limitation.



Has Windows 7 removed the 255 character file access restriction?

Subversion works pretty well with paths longer than MAX_PATH (256 characters), but you must provide absolute paths for each command, not relative ones. TortoiseSVN already does this, but there is another limitation: Windows Explorer cannot handle such long paths, although NTFS can. This way you can check / update / commit such paths in TortoiseSVN, but you can no longer access them in the explorer.



To "shorten" such paths, you can use the SUBST command .
