Toivo,

I resolved this by configuring git to accept long filenames.  You need to
make sure your version of mysysgit supports this config, because it's a
relatively new feature.  1.9.4.mysysgit.1 I believe.

git config --global core.longpaths true
or
git config --system core.longpaths true

If I remember correctly, I had to clone the repository again after this
config change.

Regards,
-- Mike
