Filesystem Paths: How Long is Too Long?
I recently imported some source code for a customer that exceeded the maximum path limit of 256 characters. The paths in question weren't particularly meaningful, just pathologically* long, with redundant subfolders. To complete the migration, I renamed some of the parent folders to single char...
