Hi,

When trying to branch my project on Windows I get this error message:

bzr: ERROR: [Error 206] Der Dateiname oder die Erweiterung ist zu lang: 
u'D:/radical/problems-refactoring/.bzr/checkout/limbo/new-6/data/edits/ModuleImplementationTests/InterfaceConformanceTests/FixMissingClassInheritanceErrorByInheritingMoreSpecialized2/files_to_copy/modules/module_implementation/classes/private_sub_class'

It is German but it says "The filename or the extension is too long:...."

I assume this is due to limitations on Windows for file path lengths. Is 
there anything I can do about this other than renaming things to less 
descriptive names (I would rather not do this of course). I do not have 
this problem on Linux or Mac OS/X

Windows sucks ;-(

Cheers,

Nick
